I am planning the installation of a 100' Rohn 45G 
tower, 
and would like to use Polygon's 3/8" fiberglass rod 
to guy it with.  I can't find a dealer or distributor 
that stocks the stuff, and Polygon won't take an 
order for less than 5000 feet.  They will, however, 
ship parts of that 5000 foot order to as many 
locations as I 
want, so...

Does anyone out there need fiberglass guy rod for an 
upcoming tower project?  If we can get 5-7 folks 
together, we could meet the minimum order size.  The 
stuff is stiff (about the same % elongation as 1/4" 
EHS), strong (13,000 lbs, vs. 6700 for 1/4" EHS), and 
completely transparant to RF.  It can be terminated 
with Glas-Grips from the Big-Grip company.  It is 
also reasonably 
priced, from what I can gather - in the same ballpark 
as EHS and much less than Phillystrand (sp?).

I would be willing to coordinate the order.  The 
stuff would be drop-shipped to your location.  If you 
are interested (seriously, please), send me an 
email.  If I get enough interest, I will try to make 
this happen.

If you have actually used this stuff for a project, 
and have any comments or suggestions (about 
suppliers, handling, etc.), I'd love to hear from you.

Tnx es 73,

P.S.  My 10 meter story is back up at 
http://www.k6if.com/ . Some of the links may be 
broken, I am trying to recover from my ISP melting 
down rather suddenly.
