You can get fancier with a Three to Five Pound (3#-5#) Fish Weight
or an Old Wooden Window Weight instead of a Brick.
..
Buy a Ten Foot (10') Piece of PVC Pipe that the Weight
will just {Fit} "Slide" Up-and-Down in Freely.
..
Stick the PVC Pipe in the Ground about Two Feet (2')
with the rest of the Pipe above Ground.
..
Tie-Off the Weight with the Rope so that it is 'positioned'
Midway {Centered} in the PVC Pipe to Move with the
Dynamic Loading of the Antenna Wire.
..
Insert the Weight into the PVC Pipe.
..
Paint the PVC Pipe if that is what will make the Family Happy ;-}
