>From what I read on the specs, it AIN'T guy wire. It's not Kevlar and the
strength is not equivalent to Philly, Polyrod, or EHS. Nice rope, but I
wouldn't use it to guy a tower. Maybe an 80 meter vertical, but nothing I
would climb.

Hi TT'ers HNY Planning my spring 10 meter tower antenna 5/5 35'-72'
rebuild. The 3/16 guy wire broken up with 502 insulators levels 32' 64'
It's in good shape but has rust wash near there attachment points !
It's been up 22 years in this acid NE rain a new paint job new feed lines
rebuild the rotors .. why not new guy support. I Was thinking of doing
Phillystran, at least on the top layer. While researching it I stumbled across
a product Sold in the USA by RL Electronics in OH. Mastrant guy rope !

TT'ers have any experience with this stuff ?
Have experience with all the old style and new type Philly stuff and the
Fiber-rod. nonconductive guying material . But this is a new one for me.
Thanks 73's Wayne W3EA
