I have never broken up my guys. After reading W8JI's statement this proves my point. I am sure I have had pattern distortion but I feel the only alternate solution is to use kevlar. To replace guy wire with even heavy insulators mid stream weakens the support substantially. I have seen the big signal corps insulators blow to pieces with a lighterning strike. I recently found 3 pieces of the 6700lb kevlar with factory installed connectors on the internet for $20 (plus shipping)each (73' lenghts). I keep looking for more as this is surplus stuff smd only a fraction of the current ham net. Dave K4JRB List Sponsor: Are you thinking about installing a tower this summer?
