My experience with bungee cords....they work good until winter comes. When the temp goes below freezing your bungee is toast. It will crumble to tiny pieces....Tom N4RS ______________________________

FWIW, I've had rubber core bungees from Lowes survive several upstate New York winters here (and last year was FRIGID), anchoring wire antennas. 73/HNY, Barry N1EU ___________________________________

There are far better ways to allow for trees swaying in the wind. A pulley and suitable weight, combined with a suitable rope, can withstand a lot of stress, but can be relatively inexpensive. I use

I generally shoot an arrow over a tree branch, trailing monofilament, that pulls up heavier line incrementally. Definitely inexpensive and not serious. Climb what? A bungee cord does me fine. Call me

An old timer in my radio club showed me this trick back in the '70s. I had one up for almost 5 years. When it broke, I noticed the pulley had rusted. Now I only use marine supply ones (stainless) tha

Barry:  The next step is to add weight the end of the rope that goes thru the pulley to allow the tree to swayin the wind but yet keep the antenna from being pulled apart.  I used this when we lived

If you read the ARRL Handbook or even the ARRL Antenna Handbook, you will be well prepared for World War II. In the past 60 years, a lot has changed. There is nothing wrong with how we did it in the

There were bungees prior to WWII. Well, prior, in fact. They were used extensively as shock absorbers on aircraft landing gear. Most aircraft on both side had them. Exposed to weather, they are fragi

Sadly, the junk at the two large hardware chains available to most of us is likely not of the same quality as that used in the aircraft industry. I used a bungee to keep the garden host from dangling

Interesting Kim. But Walmarts didn't exist back then so I guess there was no place to buy them. ;-) Seriously, it kind of depends on your approach to building antennas. I jokingly use the term WW II
