Yep. Usually NEAR one end but rarely AT the end. Our immovable object is 
usally a big redwood, but I've also used a telephone pole. W6GJB, who 
does the rigging and the pulling, is quite particular about minimizing 
those high stress points and pulling very slowly with his pickup. Glen 
is an ME/Aero E retired from the space program.
