anyone mind talking about inverted dipoles, pullies, and coax?

iow, if you are going to drop your DX-CC occasionally?? what do you do with your
coax coming off the center?  do you zip-tie it every couple of feet to a leg of
the Rohn?  if so, what happens when you want to drop the dipole?

or, do you drop it inside some one inch ID PVC attached to the outside or inside
of the tower?

just how do you keep it from blowing in the wind??

if you are using ladder line, how much stand off from the tower do you have to
have?

thanks

sections... about 20' up.
