[TowerTalk] Guy Rope Knot

[EZ Rhino]

Is it temporary or permanent?  

We use trucker's hitches on everything we put up on Field Day...I think it is more secure than the tautline.

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,
