Any suggestions as to a stronger guy rope - the rope goes up though a tree
and over the fine branches at the top of the tree. Thus, there is a fair
degree of movement at times.

Dear John, LF Group,
At my previous QTH I had an antenna like this - In the end I decided the
best bet was to provide a weak link. Where the rope going over the tree
came to ground level, instead of tying it directly to an anchor point, it
was fastened with a link of fairly thin wire which would take the tension
normally, but break if the tree was thrashing around in a gale. This
allowed several metres of rope to pay out and slacken the antenna wire.
When the gale stopped, the rope was pulled tight again and the link
replaced - this only happened a couple of times in a few years, and saved
having to get the rope over the tree again.
