Spiderbeam 160m Vertical Model 160-18-4WTH

160-18-4WTH Manual, Ver. 1.7 17-JULY-2021
5.3.3 The Square Knot (Reef Knot)
The Square Knot (or Reef Knot) joins two ropes of
equal size
.
When tied properly, it is relatively secure. If tied sloppy, it
sometimes may spill over into two half hitches and then it may
slip. It may be used to extend identical ropes, such as guy
ropes, or to tie a rope to itself.
In the Spiderbeam 160m Vertical Antenna, it is used for
fastening the short 6mm rope stubs to the pole (see 3.1.4.2).
Hint:
after tying the knot, secure the tips of each short end of
the rope to itself with a small wire-tie placed immediately beside each side of the knot. This will
prevent the knot from spilling over into two half hitches.
