I use screen-door spring(s) at each end of my wire antennas to permit
tree/limb movement without stretching the antennas. You should be able to buy such springs in several strengths at 'most any hardware store (probably even WalMart or K-Mart) in the USA. If I think one spring might not be strong enough for a particularly-heavy antenna, I just parallel two springs. Of course, the springs are between the antenna insulators and the ropes used to pull/tighten the antennas. If you do use weighted buckets, be sure to tie ANOTHER rope to the bucket and a nearby limb so the bucket won't fall on someone's head if the antenna rope or wire breaks! --W0PBV. |
