John. I use in lieu of the "hanging weight and spring", a 4' heavy duty solid rubber tie-down or bungee, whatever they are called, on the ends of my 160m, 80m and 40m inverted V's. They have been up for almost five years here in the windy part of North Texas, and not a problem. Full hot sun expose and freezing weather. Pull them tight to take all the slack out and you will be surprised how far they can stretch. Give one a try and see how long it will stretch under load before it breaks. Best regards, Monty/WB5GLB since 1969 _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
