No Dave

Not a good idea to simply tie knots in your guy lines.

Because after a while the wind and rain and wind and rain will slowly cause
them to come untied. Very bad idea, very bad advice.

You would be wise to at least tape the heck out of those knots, so to
prevent them from coming undone, and your tower or antenna falling over. I
mean that is the purpose of the guy lines.

But a simple granny knot wont work Dave. Once again Dave, some bad advice.
Have you ever owned a boat? lol,,, I bet you tied it up one day, came out
the next and it was gone. lol,,, oh my,, that is too funny.

I recomment starting an immediate course with the Cubs, then work into Boy
Scouts, they will teach you Dave how to properly secure something using
nylon rope or any kind of rope. Never tie a granny knot Dave, you should
never, ever tie a granny knot for your guy wire for your tower. Lol,,, your
neighbors are probably sleeping on pins those windy nights. Oh my.

Turnbuckles are cheap and easy way to keep tension equal and tight on
towers. Make sure your connections are tight and never use granny knots, use
clamps or at least a double Winchester,,, lol,,, oh,,, oh my,,, Dave,,, you
got me today Dave... Oh stop it... lol,,,, oh my.... Tie your tower with a
granny knot... Oh my... lol,,,, Dave you are the limit.

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.
