Installed the masts for the antenna today and used the guy rope - lots of stretch to it. Once you get it tight it is tough to tie it off without losing some of the tension. Even after tightening down the turnbuckle still seems to loose to me. Figured I should be able to play it like a guitar string but maybe not.
SO - How tight should the Guy Ropes be ???

Sinker,
SNUG and Re-Check them Monthly and after Rain Storms for the first few months as new rope will tend to Stretch over time.

After Rain Storms - guess I will be checking daily heheehe - these afternoon thunderstorms have to stop soon - I HOPE....
Looks like I have about everything ready so when the Antenna comes in and the radio gets back I can turn the system on.
