Putting up a 10 through 160 or 10 through 80 meters dipole.... Are there
any good links or sights to learn proper making and installation? Also, make sure that one end of your dipole is fastened to the tree with a weighted pulley system, so that when you get strong winds the dipole won't snap. I run the line through a small pulley attached to the tree and then hang a brick off the end of that line.... DO be sure to fasten the weight with another rope so that if (when?) the antenna does break, the brick won't fall on someone's head! If one or both of the trees is liable to sway a LOT, you can add another pully to the weight and run the rope back UP the tree to where the first antenna pulley is; that way, one weight (which probably needs to be heavier) can handle twich as much sway. --Myron. -- Five boxes preserve our freedoms: soap, ballot, witness, jury, and cartridge PhD EE (retired).
