I've got my 190' R80G tower guyed with Philly, and I've been assuming
that this system will outlast me. What did I miss? Now I'm I'm a-scared.
As far as cost - did you figure in your labor cost on breaking up the
EHS? Just wondering...

I am about to start construction on my new 165ft Rohn 55G rotating
tower. My anchors are 180ft out from the base.
My question is: Just how much is using Phillystrand cable buying me
versus using EHS cable broken up with insulators?
I don't want to cut corners on this installation but the cost on the
EHS is far lower than Philly and I am sure the lifespan is much
longer too.
How about using Philly for 50% out from the tower bearings and then
EHS for the remaining 50% down towards the anchors?
Any comments / thoughts would be appreciated.
