DX Commander Antenna

I'm not using one per se, but I cloned it for this expedition.

In the design, the elements can waver in the wind. In high winds, they can reach to make contact with other (band) elements.  This is a bad thing to happen.  So I could rip apart the antenna and place another spacer midway up the mast.  Or I can do the simple thing -- just guy/tether the driven elements a bit so they cannot brush up on other elements in the high wind.

A note to self -- revise the design to have lightweight and easy-to-attach spacers between elements.
