I now have two sets of guys wire slightly loose on my new Rohn 45 (70 feet going to 90 feet) and one set on my new Rohn 25 (35 feet going to 105 feet) with the remaining guy sets already made. In wha
Lots of questions. Here's what I did on my 110' Rohn 55G tower: 1. I fully tightened each guy set immediately after installing the guys, so that the tower was plumb and properly tensioned at each lev
indispensible for tensioning guys. A great feature is that it can be snapped onto the cable during tensioning rather than having to be placed in line, like you would have to do with a dynamometer. An
Well, this must be one of those YMMV situations. All I can say is that on EHS near the 10% target tension, my Loos reads about 30% high compared with a Dillon dynamometer. At the low end of the scale
Apparently <:-)) I'm running Phyllistran with 10 to 15' headers of EHS at the bottom. It seems to matter little whether I put the gage on the Phyllistran or EHS. Roger (K8RI) ________________________
It's hard to imagine the stiffness of the wire not having a dramatic effect on this gauge. Apparently <:-)) I'm running Phyllistran with 10 to 15' headers of EHS at the bottom. It seems to matter lit
W8JI compared the readings with EHS and fiberglass guy material in series and found a large discrepancy. As far as I know, he didn't compare EHS and Phillystran. My experiment compared the readings o
I'll be re-tensioning all guys in another week or so and will do another comparison at that time to see how close they come. 73 Roger (K8RI) _______________________________________________ __________
I guess I'm missing something - for a tower of any given height, such that it is somewhat elastic, don't the tensions on all the guys at a given level even out? I thought the main reason for differen
and found a large discrepancy. As far as I know, he didn't compare EHS and Phillystran. My experiment compared the readings of two gauges on the same material, 1/4" EHS. I re-read Tom's emails and he
