[TowerTalk] Weight on ends of a OCF diploe

[Jeff Draughn]

I've used old window sash weights usually 2 of the ones that are about 15"
long works good.
If you're attaching it to your tower you can strap a piece of PVC on the
side of the tower and let the weights right up-and-down inside the PVC this
way it's not clanging and banging on your tower.
Good luck!
