An apparatus and method stabilizes a pair of parallel coaxial lines for an antenna having a tower. An upper portion of each coaxial line is suspended from the tower. A lower end of the coaxial lines is free to move vertically relative to the tower. The apparatus has a flexible section disposed along a first portion of the length of one coaxial line and a frame which rigidly ties together the two coaxial lines at a second portion of each of the lines below the flexible section.
