[TowerTalk] which rope for element anti-vibration

[Steve Maki]

My favorite method for containing the ropes was to drill a small hole 
thru the element tip (and rope) and screw in a small SS self tapping 
screw (long enough to exit the opposite side of the tube). That allows 
any moisture to drip out, and is a relatively permanent solution.
