Been there...had to deal with it!
I got so tired of having the ground crew send me up antennas and
brackets tied with impossible to untie knots that I started using
small shackles, but then someone would tighten them with a wrench!
I finally settled on short two foot choker ropes (slings) - piece of
3/8" nylon rope with a woven loop in each end.
