Thanks very much to all who contributed on this topic.
Have just emerged from my workshop.
5mm thick rectangular fibreglass plate to which is fitted two saddle =
plates made from ordinary fibreglass circuit board (copper removed) =
secured to main plate by stainless steel bolts with spring washers.
Have made holes on centre line both top and bottom, top one for the =
suspension point, lower one to carry a monofilament line threaded thru =
the feedline so as to stabilise it when the wind blows.
My ladder line danced about madly in the breeze. Am looking at about =
70ft vertical drop, so stablisation might be a good idea.
Thanks again: always impressed by the knowledge to be gained from this =
group.
