TT'ers: I'm going to replace the guy wires on my Rohn 25 tower this spring as part of a general overhaul. Present cable is 3/16 1X7 wire rope (probably EHS but after 30 years who remembers?). No insu

My understanding is that EHS is "galvanized steel cable", which is not the same as wire rope. While they might have the same breaking strength, other characteristics may be quite different, such as a

I wouldn't use anything but Phillystran. In addition to the strength, I think it looks a whole lot better than guy cables and big insulators. My own opinion though. 73 de Tom, WW5L __________________

I echo these comments. A friend used wire rope and big grips. It did not hold. He replaced all with Phillystran with 20' EHS leader at each guy post. 73, Keith NM5G My understanding is that EHS is "g

Do not use 19 strand wire rope. It is designed for a different application (runs around pulleys, etc), and comes in many different designs (Warrington vs Seale cross-sections, right regular, right la

Well, I have to confess that I don't know exactly what the term "wire rope" means, but I successfully used 7x19 galvanized aircraft control cable (both 3/16" and 1/4") for guys for 30 years. This mak

"Wire rope" is also a technical term used in the rigging industry. It covers all forms of steel cable that have been discussed in this email thread, including "aircraft cable". Choosing a wire rope d

Eric - possible. But that's not what aircraft the top of a paint can, too... stretchy than 7-strand wire rope under could be a problem at another. Eric, I consider you a friend, but that was a real p

The recent discussions about whether wire "rope" is suitable for guying towers seem to me to have mostly missed the primary issue, which I believe is this: In many guyed tower configurations, a major

You have to remember that a deep catenary in a high mass guy is the equivelant of stretch as far as movement of the tower is concerned. Having been "up there" on some pretty windy days, I've found t

Very good point, Roger. My comments were in response to the discussion about *other* types of wire rope vs. the conventional EHS we use -- all of which I would treat as "high mass" guys. I wasn't att
