keeping wire antennas up

... I don't care to imagine concrete blocks dangling in space or screen door closers affixed to trees, Mike. Dave K8MN Neither do I. I'd imagine a pulley in the tree which a rope attached to the antenna to be tensioned was attached. This rope would then run to a weight on the ground to where the HD door closers were attached. I mean, I'd imagine that as opposed to beginning to pour concrete to which an eyebolt with a insufficient deadman held into the concrete! JS |

There's *no* dead man in the concrete. It is simply a bolt, a large fender washer and a nut. It is supporting only a wire antenna. It isn't guying a tower. A 3/8", three or four inch long bolt in concrete is more than sufficient for the job. Read my earlier post where I suggest a window sash weight. These are cast iron with a loop at the top end. Both have been used without failure for decades. No Rube Goldberg devices were necessary. Dave K8MN |

Check it out, "John". The fender washer was in my original post. If you'd bothered to read it, you wouldn't be in an "Oops, never mind" situation. Dave K8MN |

... Dave K8MN OK. Sorry. I see the fender mentioned washer mentioned in one of your previous posts. That is bound to happen, I only scan 1 out of 4-10 of your posts--and have my news reader set to mark your new posts as already having been read, easy to miss 'em. LOL JS |

You must be feeling pretty foolish, "John". Dave K8MN |
