[TowerTalk] Taking up slack in wire antennas

[w4ZW]

I've used bungee cord for some time.  I put in a loose  length of "Spectra"
or "Deema" in the link that is my safety net if the bungee breaks.  You can
double up the lengths/sizes and get whatever tension you want.  I've found
the good sailing black bungee works pretty well.  Be sure and sear the ends
so they don't start unraveling.  I wrap my ends  with sailing tape as well.

Works for me here on the ocean in this Florida sun and wind.
