It's tower and antenna season once again. For tower guying I prefer Big Grips, but for some applications I still use old fashioned cable clamps, for example, to attach guy wires to ground anchors, al

Interesting statement from Rohn: Rohn "no longer supports" . I have seen tower failures of sharply bent guy cables about a anchor point, and many other tower failures when people "cut corners" upon i

I got some of those short-saddle ones from Hill Radio one time when I ordered the Rohn part number. I didn't like them either. Recently I got some from Texas Towers, and they have deep saddles. I don

galvanised clamps similar or identical to the older 3/16CCM? Based on what I paid in 1980 and on-line inflation calculators, these should now run a little over $1.00 apiece. Well, I don't know if th

Correct, and the specified Crosby clamps are the forged type, 3/16CCF. More popular for ham use is the 3/16CCM, which is a malleable clamp having lower strength and much lower cost. It has been a ver

You can make a serving tool from a 1" wide X 1/8th" thick, maybe 6" long with a hole large enough to easily pass a single strand, (be sure to remove sharp edges) but it's tedious work and may have a

Hi Roger, serving guy wires is definitely an acquired skill! Reminds me of braiding a live horse's tail; few people would actually do it. 73, Gerald K5GW In a message dated 6/8/2015 12:10:42 P.M. Cen

73, Gerald K5GW Having done both: Serving is mechanically larger forces required (at least for big cables), but tail braiding is a lot longer process with a lot more complexity. And, of course, you d

Since all of my towers have been unsupported crankups, I've never had the pleasure of dealing with guys. When I first moved here, not understanding how bad the salt air environment would be on anythi

I wonder if a workable clamp could be found that mechanically starts out OK and only goes bad over time as the cheap thin coating corrodes so that maybe we could find some sort of coating that would

A simple suggestion that makes serving much easier. Use wire ends 3 to 6 inches longer than required. when the required turns are wound flat, just cut that wire as short as possible and force the tip
