Maybe you could find a way to measure and compare the tension of each

Yeah - a DIM version would be easy since it wouldn't have to be
calibrated - I only need to know when the tensions are equal.
Strum them, Bob. *It'll get you ballpark close, like tuning a bass
guitar string. *(no fish jokes, please)
I heard that this sort of thing causes whale beachings. (cetacean joke)
That only happens when they're precisely 6.8Hz out of tune from each
other, Denis. Otherwise, it increases their endolphins, for fully
sated cetaceans.
Endolphins!?! *I hope that you're not making hormones!
I'm making hormone every chance I can. That's in between screams for
more, which seals d eel.
Aha! Well, that fits with my theories of whale beachings, strumming
tension cables, rock musicians and aquatic frenzy. Someone in your
neighborhood is probably tuning his garage door cables or playing his
stereo sending subliminal signals and wreaking havoc. I think that
there are better ways of adjusting garage doors without disrupting the
neighborhood or nearby aquatic life – using the proper measuring
devices and using judicious engineering practices.
Oh, puhleeeze, Mr. D. A properly tuned garage door string, erm, cable
is well above VLF freqs and is no more disruptive than a poorly played
bass gitfiddle. Besides, GP is over 60 miles from the coast. So THERE!
