They would make a good support for the pulley rope or bungee rope.

Mal and others (direct to me have suggested marine rope, which also make sense) The winds have reported to have gusted to around 90mph, so not as bad as you experienced Mike. Clearly some mechanical work to do for some of us. 73 John, G3WKL
