For my money, Polyrod is THE only way to go. 2/3 the cost of Philly.
It's what utility companies use. I have about 200 ft of brand new stuff left
over from my current station that I plan to use out in KH6 for the new
station. Anyone have a few left over 5/16 PLP ends to sell?

Since the utility companies don't care about RF resonances,
why would they want to use Polyrod? Is there a need to
be insulated from 60 Hz high voltage? Or is Polyrod
so superior to steel that is worth using even if they
don't care about the electrical properties?
Can it be purchased from the same distributors that sell
stuff like AB Chance anchors to the utilities?
Is Polyrod difficult to work with, like copperweld,
where it "remembers" being coiled up? How do the "PLP
ends" work?
