[TowerTalk] LINE FOR tree strung dipoles

[Ian Hill - K8MM]

The cloth covered bungee last about two years out in the WX here in MI. 
So every other spring I lower the antenna and replace the bungee. There 
are those who say its a terrible idea, but I'm pretty sure that they 
have not been through everything that I have trying while to keep 
antennas up in the woods. I've found that pulleys jam or you have to add 
so much counter weight to them that the antenna parts eventually break 
from a sudden gust.
