the cable from a catenary wire rope cable about 8 feet high.
Yes. Part of the runs from some RX antennas are done this way. In
addition to suspending from a rope, Kellums grips are widely used by
telecom and CATV drops. Look for the type with two parts that separate
so that they can be clamped around the cable rather than needing to
slide it over one end (and a connector). Also, study specs defining
their mechanical strength -- I recently had one break on a feedline from
a high dipole when the wind blew.
