That's a big ten four, Jimmy --

      In fact, the Preformed Products Co. has two catalogs - one for the
tower/antenna industry and one for the utility companies. 

     Did someone suggest using preforms on non-EHS wire?  Please use the
right product for the right job.  Do what the manufacturer says.
