I asked for suggestions about this problem in my 'In Practice' magazine 
column. The most memorable answer was "two matched wishing-wells with 
pulleys and counterweights".

The one that worked was "two long lengths of bungee cord, running around 
pulleys at the anchor points and then tied back horizontally towards the 
tower" (G3JVC).
