Most of us with wires in trees use a weight and pulley system. Those who 
don't will find them on the ground in the first good storm. Ask me how I 
know! A few years after I moved here, I put up several wires and was one 
weight short of having enough for all the antennas. I was going to do 
that weight real soon, but real soon wasn't soon enough.
