[Antennas] Securing Ladderline

Tue Nov 7 18:55:50 EST 2006

Hi Deon.
I also live in a windy QTH and use ladder line. I have sunk 4X4s in the 
ground with screw eyes and used bungee cords between the screw eyes and 
the ladder line to keep it from flying off into the trees. The setup 
has worked well for several years here.
