[Towertalk] Re: Counterweights for wire verticals

[Mark .]

Hi all,

I've been experimenting with this, and can offer the following successful 
combination:

1) windshield washer fluid bottle.

2) Protect from the sun with a sacrificial UV layer of cheap indoor/outdoor 
acrylic spray paint. Choose color to blend with surroundings.

3) Fill with gravel to desired weight to prevent freezing and splitting in 
winter.

I have one hanging on a run of ladderline that goes from the shack up the 
tower. It's just the right weight to form a curve at the bottom for a drip 
loop, and keeps it from flapping wildly in the wind.
