With regular guy wires, we have metal turnbuckles to adjust tension in
the wire, but what about for nylon? I recently built an antenna that
uses nylon rope for antenna support at various spots. I need to adjust
the tension in the nylon rope and I'd rather not use metal turnbuckles
as there are a lot of spots that need adjustment and I don't want
interaction with the antenna. What's the alternative? Thanks


Is it Nylon or Dacron? Anyway, I just tie knots in mine.


Why not just use the same system used on tents that use rain fly covers?
Not sure how to describe it but you can find them on almost any light weight
tent.
Just use a bigger version.
Most use light aluminum but heavy Plexiglas or Lexan would work just fine.
