I don't have a problem with regular 7x19 galvanized wire rope as a
substitute for EHS since they're both the same breaking strength - around
4000#.
It's a lot more work since you can't use PreForms on it. The reason EHS is
specified is because it's the same everywhere. You can buy 3/16" wire rope in
5-6 different configurations and strengths, most of which would be
inappropriate for a tower installation.

I hope you mean Phillystran.
