Learn to tie knots for ham radio

There are a few knots that you can do so much with. I try to stay away from gizmos when a knot will work just as well. It is a useful skill to have. I keep a piece of paracord on my desk.

Thanks, the playlist looks helpful. I'll follow your lead and cut a piece of paracord to have nearby and practice a few of these knots.

Hey Tom, you hit on all the points about convenience, time and most importantly memory! Lot's of time I forget how to tie the knot! But that's on me. I'm using the rope rollers to secure my awning down and I'm not always the one that's doing it, so the rope rollers allow anybody to complete that task. I use that taught line and truckers hitch on my masts. Great video to showcase the knots and I totally agree, know your knots! It's an invaluable skills to have!!!!
