Manzanita and pine: like adding gasoline to a fire. Calfire said it was one of
the quickest spreading fires they had seen.
The good thing is that now I don’t have to hack through the trees to install
antennas :^)

That’s the theory. Not so in practice depending on your location. The
wildfire that took out my location had flames well over 100 feet high, so the
Philly didn’t stand a chance. Second installation I didn’t bother.

Just planning installation of my first ever towers so not much experience
here. What is the reason for the "last ten feet" utilizing EHS instead of
Phillystran?

I concur. It is so easy to install and definitely not resonant.

If it was me the magic length would be how many steps to the telephone or
computer it takes to order some Phillystran and associated stuff and
forget about 1/4" EHS, except for the last 10 feet.
