If my gray matter recalls, ES5TV lost his fantastic 8 - 5 element H frame
ARRAY because he did not use safety wires on the turnbuckles and lost the
installation ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9fDlbIFhMs&t=7s

I Ditto that Dave.
The Bible ( Rohn Catalogs ) as far back as I can remember always had a diagram
in the "general " Tab of the catalog regarding
A: the Safety Wire ( through the turnbuckles Bodies and Eyes )
B: and if not using PLP Preforms Serving the EHS guy wire . after the last
cable clamp .

My turnbuckles are all wired. I just take a cut off piece of guy wire and
loop it through the bodies of all the turnbuckles and then through the live
side eyes, that way neither side can turn.
