[Elecraft] Antenna Suspension

[rattray]

Hi Roy - I had that set up when my QTH was in New Hampshire...I tied 2
window sashe weights to one end and it seemed to do the job riding up
and down in the wind...course we never had any hurricanes...72 Bruce.

72/73 - Bruce ve5rc/ve5qrp - I believe in the KIS principle.

I am using a Carolina Windom 80 suspended with 3/16" nylon rope through 
stainless steel eyehooks up 50' between two large oak trees.  These
trees are 
approx 123 feet apart.  Because I am located in hurricane alley and
subject to high 
winds, I would like to remove the permanent tiedown on one of the trees
and 
tie a weight to the rope.  I would like to know how much weight should
be used. 
 What kind of weight (how many bricks or what-have-you).  Thanks.  Roy
