[TowerTalk] Guy Rope Knot

[Kelley Shaddrick]

I'm putting up a 40' aluminum mast as an end point for an all band dipole 
antenna. What's the best way to attach the guy ropes to the anchors? At the 
moment, it's been suggested I use a tautline hitch. I've used this knot 
before to hold up dipoles, not sure about its reliability as a guy rope 
knot. However, I like that it allows the rope to move either way so I can 
adjust it. Are there some other knots to consider? How about some kind of 
mechanical device?

Thanks,
