I found it was worth it to hire a tree guy to put some eye bolts up in
the tree rather than pull cord over branches -- much healthier for the
tree and longer lasting -- plus easier to let down for any tuning or
maintenance.

I beat the squirrels with some pvc over the cord -- short sections of
pvc about half a meter long at a stretch like a big version of a kids
jump rope--- easy to deal with, protects the cord from all manner of
beasties, and doesn't interfere with the antenna.

Hope this helps,
