Been reading this with interest. When I had my fairly-big station with a 100-foot tower, I found that having steel guys for the top set at 97 feet messed up my 40M yagi, 13 feet further up. Replaci
Phillystran turned that into a much better antenna. I suspect that making sections of guy resonant on one of the bands could have some unexpected effects on other antennas on the tower. Or, it might
Sure, there have been such charts over the years. My point was that making segments of guys into resonant lengths would seem like a risky endeavor for the performance of the antennas on the tower, e
There wouldnt be any difference in using the guy wires cut to resonant lengths and using the tower to hold up wire antennas in between your Mastrant or Phillystan guys. In both cases you probably wil
My commercial 80 foot tower with a log periodic on a mast 20 feet above the tower top has sections of steel wire rope spaced 8', 10', 10', 10', then 70' to the ground turnbuckles. The antenna itself
The price and labor of using insulators, wire rope clips, thimbles, and or preforms, far outweighs the cost of Philistran. Philistran is much cheaper. 73, Jim W7RY Thanks, 73, Jim W7RY On 9/19/2022 1
