Also, be aware that there is an outfit that makes plastic (or possibly
heavey enamel coated), (Metal) tie wraps- uncertain of the brand name, but
believe were obtained thru graybar, price also unknown, but couple
advantages-
1) can be resized, reused, 2) dont break, and 3 ) plastic coating keeps them
from cutting thru sheath of coax or wires. Used them on towers in northern
nevada, subjected to winds in excess of 100 mph- these puppies dont break!
