What kind of tower do you need to guy at 5 levels? I am putting up a 1/4 wave insulated tower for 160. I plan on guying it at 5 levels. Since I am not putting any antennas on the tower, what are your

Wow, some strange advice here. At least no one said you needed an engineer or lawyer. Yet. Didn't need them here when I installed mine. They redid the zoning and I gave the board a lot of documentati

There are 2 generations of Phillystran. The first was kind of stiff and you used the potted sockets for end terminations. The next generation was introduced before there were Big Grips available for

Mostly what compresses is the jacket. No strength is lost. My SteppIR uses Phillystran (as a bridle) with small saddle clamps. The PS is very flat in the clamps. 73, Mike NF4L _______________________

Folks: I am still new at this and I get my terminology mixed up. The use of the Phillystran is for the Truss and the lines from the 40 meter radiator to the boom ends. Gerald Muller K9GEM _GMuller885

Isn't Phillystran overkill for that application? If you were to even try to preload it (I don't know why you would need or want to do so in this case) wouldn't it rip the antenna apart? Al AB2ZY ____

For completeness in the Phillystran discussion, the "Lok-Cube" should perhaps be mentioned. These were provided with 1990-vintage KT34XA antennas to terminate the 1/8" Philly boom truss.. This item i

Don, most all knots are weaker than the line in which they are tied, i.e. the line will break at the knot before the undisturbed line will break. . That said, I like your suggestion as boom trusses a

You might want to look at knots fishermen use. Some, like the Palomar Knot (IIRC), equal the line strength. 73, Dick, W1KSZ _______________________________________________ ___________________________

Place a generous drop of RTV on the end of the Phillystran, then install the cap. Rotate the cap a little to make sure the RTV is spread internally to the cap. I use caps on my 6700i Phillystran and

I use the same method with no problems in 13 years. Don't forget, most RTV are water proof, not moisture proof and moisture is poison to that core. If the caps are loose, I'd apply enough RTV to fill

GE silicone caulk is pretty good. I use the 50 year rated stuff for all kinds of weather sealing. Comes in tubes like toothpaste or in cardboard tubes that typically go bad before you use all of it.
