I'm in the middle of putting up a longwire antenna. One end is going
up in a tree in my back yard and the other end is going into one of my
neighbors trees. I think it's going to be about 150' long Should I
use a counter weight at my neighbor's end or try and fashion some sort
of grappling hook out of coat hanger and get it tangled up in the
tree? My friend thought 5 lbs of ballest thrown over a limb would do
it, but I think I'd need about 20 lbs. I'm worried about sticking 20
lbs of something or other up in the air. With my luck it would decide
to fall when some little kid was under it. Neighbor lady told me no,
I can't use her tree, but she is moving out in a few days anyway so I
figure to hurry up and get it up so it's there before the new owner
gets there. Grandfathered in so to speak. Ideas?

regards,
NEO.
