 Hi Tom,
<br />
Yes I had noticed that the mail boxes always seemed empty, but don't understand why. I have yet another email address which you could try: computernetworks@talk21.com.
<br />

<br />
That is kind of you to offer and I accept with pleasure. Yes it will be necessary to confirm by phone, because I am expecting a hospital appointment during the week for a CT scan, but date not yet confirmed. I have constant backache and now frontache, which they think might be a liver problem. Funnily enough it doesn't hurt when I am climbing trees and having fun with antennas, only when I sit down, hi! 
<br />
the phone number is 0118 9546277.
<br />

<br />
The nylon cord could well have been abraded by tree movement, there were a couple of very windy nights at that time. I shall take your advice on tension and also will take up Mike XDV suggestion to include a luggage type bungee cord to give some room for movement.
<br />

<br />
Look forward to seeing you.
<br />
73, John, G4CNN
<br />
