I didn't do a great engineering job on my first 50' mast,
just one of 5 I will be eventually putting up for a loop
skywire. Now I will have to take this one down and do it
right (big headache). Anyone know a good source

(good
prices), for those high quality nautical type pulleys?

Hit the "clearance" menu and surf. Your vison of "good prices" . . ah,
never mind . . I've bought some of their small blocks and they are
defintely a couple cuts above and are worth every dime I spent on 'em.
Despite what they cost . .

What
is best type of wire for guys?

Dacron rope.

Meanwhile I did finally get on the air with my 80M OCF up
35', got over some initial mic shyness, and hopefully will go
back for more, after I brush up on not sounding like a lid.

This'll fix yer mic fright problem.
