John G4CNN - I failed twice to send direct e-mails to both .excite and
.go.
Hello John
I have only just read your message . Perhaps I can bring the
catapult with me next week and we could give it another try.
When I first put up my very long wire, the thing came down every few
weeks. It was the wire breaking rather than the polypropylene halyards.
After a while I realised I had the whole thing too tight so I slackened
off each halyard a little and it has been up for about a year now.
I am surprised at that nylon cord breaking. I wonder if it snapped
through being too tight or if it abraided on the tree?
Let's see what the weather is like next week and I will give you a
'phone call. Perhaps you could let me have your number again.
73, Tom
