If there is any? Ive seen the way Lighting Bolt attaches the wire
through small tubes and
hose clamps. I have seen where using that way lets the spreaders
sometime get out of
alignment beacause the tube slides on the wire.
I wonder if drilling like Qubex does will weaken the spreader
any????????
What do you think????????

It's a very good technique for attaching the wire to the poles I had heavy
winds with ice loading with no shift. The small .062" aluminum welding wire
did stretch but not shift with a 5 band 2 element quad. I could see where
that could happen with a mono bander but not a 3 or 5 bander. Add insulated
pig tails around the loop. That will stop it. k7gco
