Default Pulley Arrangement For Horiz. Antenna ?

Hi,

Pretty sure I'll probably be able to come up with something that will
more or less work, but was wondering if any of you folks have a real
clever solution for this:

Will be stringing a horiz wire listening only antenna between two
trees out back.
Trees have a fair amount of movement, particularly in the winter.

So, I thought I'd fasten one end securely, and then use the pulley
arrangement, with a hanging weight, like you see in all the pix for
this sort of thing.

But, we get a lot of ice and freezing rain, and I doubt that the
pulley would really function well, if at all in the winter.
But, perhaps ?

Think a large metal ring, with a Dacron rope goint thru (one end to
the wire end) would be better ?
Coat Dacron with Silicone Spray ?


Basic rule of thumb: If an antenna stays up all winter it wasn't big
enough. Grin, duck and run
