Patent Pending #61960763
The Vari-Ten wire antenna Tensioner is a unique antenna accessory for amateur radio operators to protect wire antennas from damage when the support trees sway in the wind. Tensioners are an antenna shock absorber, calibrated wire Tensioner, and end insulator all in one stealthy unit that easily hides in the tree top canopy. Or they can be mounted vertically or on an angle at ground level. They are simple to install, rugged, and will automatically control wire tension, antenna sag, and absorb shock when the wind moves the support trees. Installation and all adjustments are done from the ground with no need to climb a tree.
TWO TENSIONER INSTALLATION - A 136’ 80 meter dipole is protected by two Tensioners, Model 30-100 (right) and Reciprocal Model 30-100-R (left). The static working tension is adjusted to 45 pounds. |
