Hi Jay,
That's it. Many years ago I installed a Glenn Martin 70' aluminum tower
which used 4000I philly and used cable clamps. Perhaps it was wrong
engineering but the tower stayed up. No doubt being able to crank down
the antennas during approaching hurricanes may have helped. The
possibly more damaging "microbursts" of course couldn't be predicted.

details using cable clamps on PHILLYSTRAN. Use at your own risk.

I find it helpful to have something to hold the saddle to keep it from
twisting when tightening the nuts on the clamps. I often use an open end
wrench that is about the same size of the outside of the saddle.
