characteristics of fiberglass rod, Philly and EHS. See

Hello Dan
Please click on the link below - hopefully this is what you have. I highly
suggest you find a tower professional that can help you install these guy
wires. There is a huge safety risk and Preforms must be installed properly.
You will see a place where you can click on a video link on this page. It
shows a tower professional (Tim, W3YQ) properly installing a Preform on
Phillystran.

Please seek out a professional to assist you so that you are 100% sure what
you are doing is safe.

Subject: [TowerTalk] PhillyStrand GRIPS???
Question..I have a tower to put up for a ham in the Atl area.. He is using
PhillyStrand for the top set of guys,, and steel 1X7 EHS below that.. He
ordered it from the most famous place,, and they sent guy grips,,, what we
call performs for the phillystrand..Has any of you done this before ?? I
have never used them on Philly. Seems to me that philly is too soft and
pliable not to allow gripping strength. A steel cable is not giving and the
grip has positive gripping. So,, what has anyone done along this idea. I
want to know that the top set of philly is not going anywhere while I am on
this tower...73 Dan N4GNR
