Yes, and it's a MUST for any wire where one or both ends are rigged to a 
tree with one end tied to a weight to allow for tree sway in the wind. 
K2RD showed me how to do that without hiring a climber. I use big water 
jugs filled with dry sand for the 90-100# needed for dipoles at 100-130 
ft in my redwoods; others use suitably sized concrete blocks or hooks 
set in concrete poured into a bucket; window sash weights work for lower 
antennas that don't need as much tension to support the feedline.
