You will probably be okay with steel. However, since the tower is self
supporting, the top guys should be sufficient for "peace of mind."

GA To All.............................
Am in the process of installing a 100' self supporting steel twr but am
going to put some guys on it just for my own piece of mind as there are some
pwr lines abt 60' away.
I've been able to corral 500' of Polygon cable which will handle the guys @
90' but not enough for the set @ 40'. So guess I'll hv to go with steel
cable on the bottom.
Antennas will be a 40m rotable dipole and a 4L SteppIR.
My question is to whether the bottom set of steel guys need to be broken up
with insulators as they will be 65' below the SteppIR. TIA for your input.
