Just a simple loop at the top of the mast? I’ve used a pulley, but a) they seize & b) the cable, or support line always seems to snag. Your KISS seems to be the answer - so simple.
One of the great advantages of 3d printing - I've been able to make a number of fittings for this and my 'tactical mini' pole to manage both the antenna and guy ropes, wire winders and so on. Thanks for your feedback, 73 from Mort / G4BSK
Cool I love QRP
Well done, I think I need to make one of these.
Was expecting a 15m mast and Steppir....

What's the grade of the wire? And how little power are you using for TX QRP?
Hi Richard - the wire is 3mm green antenna wire from Sotabeams and my maximum power is about 5 watts...
Well done that man, qrp is great. 73 zl3xdj.
