Another strong storm is passing through southern California today and one of its casualties has been the rope that supported my wire HF antenna. I guess I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow, or whenever it is that things dry out enough for me to work outdoors.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Don't you hate it when that happens?
I used stainles steel cable for it, good quality isolators because i hate climbing on the roofs here.

I used nylon rope because it stretches when the trees that support the antenna move in the wind. I didn't have enough when I erected this particular antenna, though, so I used a braided polypropylene rope on one end. It lasted about a year but the nylon rope on the other end is still good to go.Originally Posted by PA5COR

I think I'll have no problem erecting it. And the last time I did, it stayed up for a year.

Anything more than four hours you need medical help. Just pray they can get you into the ambulance.
