A local ham told me to get some heavy duty hood springs from a 1950-1960's car and put them between my guy wire equalizer plates and earth anchors. This is to "prevent backlash" during storm force wi

Yep, bunch of bull. If you put a spring between your guys and the anchor, then they won't develop any more force to hold the tower up when the wind blows than when everything's quiet. Either you'll h

If anything any spring with less tension than the working strength of the guy line it'd make it worse. At or higher strength springs would be useless. IOW I agree, if ROHN had wanted them they'd be t

car and put them between my guy wire equalizer plates and earth anchors. You bet. This is a particularly stupid idea. Is there anything like this that's even suggested by the manufacturer? No way. By

I remember some folks using springs like this in their rotor to mast connection ala Back Lash....maybe somewhere down the line the story was mis-understood and the coils migrated to guy cables -- sca

You're right. The fact that the guys aren't straight lines (they're catenaries) means that as the load increases they get a bit longer, just like a spring. Why put another device in series with the s

There is actually more to it than that Jim. Whenever there is a combination of a spring, a mass and a dampening source there is the prospect of dynamic oscillation. In so cases the potential oscillat
