Brooke, A combination of a single half hitch with a double half hitch a few feet apart to hold the end of the line would hold fast but would require occasional adjustment. If your antenna is heavy and apt to cause damage if it fell I would suggest safety lines as backup.

Is there a knot that would allow adjusting the length of the line, yet would hold fast? Thanks for any help, Brooke Clarke, N6GCE -- http://www.PRC68.com http://www.pacificsites.com/~brooke/PRC68COM.shtml *** LAD
