I use a metal screw eye bolt that I screw into the trunk of the tree and
attach the 3/16 polypropylene braid rope to that after pulling the rope
tight, but leaving some minor slack in the wire. If the trunk is decent
size the rope will last a long time.

I have a small variety of wire HF antennas that I've placed high in my
trees with a tennis ball gun. All great except that the lifetime of
the rope I've been using (3/16" polypropylene braid with an unbraided
core) seems quite short, probably because of chafing against moving
branches near the tops of trees.
Does anyone have suggestions for an alternative, hopefully an economic
one?
