- Is there anyway to "prove" that a hunk of 1/4" cable is EHS? I recently became the "proud" owner of ~1000 feet of unused 1/4" guy wire. The spool that it was on had no visible identification - howeve

- There are a couple of things to look for. First, it'll have 7 strands. Next itt has left-hand lay which means the strands wind to the left. And last, the stuff is REAL STIFF. EHS stands for Extra Hi

- I forgot to mention that the other 7 grades all have less breaking strength than EHS (extra high strength - remember?). Sometimes as much as 40% less. Cheers, Steve K7LXC Tower Tech List Sponsor: Cha

- Steve... I'm quite interested in this too, as I have a roll of new stuff that I think is EHS. "Wind to the left" means what? If viewed from the end, following a strand away from you will go CCW? Or,

- Mike-- Guy Strand in typical amateur sizes (3/16 to 1/2) are usually 1x7. Larger sizes can run 1x19 or 1x37. This refers to the number of wires in the strand and how they are layed (layered). Left ha
