I am replacing some guy wires on a 70' Rohn 25 with a 40m beam. What is the 
spacing between the insulators so the guys are not resonant? The guys are 3/16" 
EHS and I am using the 500D insulators. I lost 3 guys due to ice storm last 
week, the Phillystran was cut in half on the top 2 guys but the bottom guy with 
all steel cable was undamaged. It was the 4000lb Phillystran.
