Re: [TenTec] Re: Opinions on vertical

Since the Gap series of antennas are in the range of 25 feet high, (for the
Titan);
definitely guy them if you have variable winds.   I agree.   Mine has
withstood 45 mph without guys, but the clamp came loose from the home mast
it was clamped against.

After that I added three nylon guys from Wal Mart, (easiest to get here);
and it withstood 75 mph winds outflow from a Tornadic storm that passed
North of me.

Other trees broke off near the ground, but I only had stretching in the
nylon lines.
Definitely believe and keep guys on verticals and masts, if free standing.
