I understand from previous posts that there is value in connecting a Phillystran guy cable to the steel tower with an insulator. This avoids grounding the 3 ft long Phillystran big grip to the tower

Phillystran is a non-conducting guy cable and as such, when I used it and following their installation instructions 30-years ago, I did NOT use ANY insulators between the Phillystran guy cables and m
DXEngineering has "bent pin shackles" combined with an insulator for making the connection. But they ain't cheap. Ken K6MR I understand from previous posts that there is value in connecting a Phillys
Jim, See the photo at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eu8pSe_UvdPCsdKR5-trK3GlmE-G1SfV/view?usp=s haring The 15M beam just above this guy ring had major SWR issues before this insulator was installe
Insulators at the tower end are very necessary if you have Yagi's close to the Phillystran attachment point. The problem is significant and is caused by the preforms that are used to terminate the Ph

If the beam is more than 10' away from the guy grips, it may not matter. In my case it was just above and the SWR was very much affected. I estimate the grip plus attachments without the egg insulato

Where is this study you are referring to? I would assume this would apply to fiberglass as well? Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS Insulators at the tower end are very necessary if you have Yagi
Another reason I'm glad I chose Mastrant-M for my towers. The stainless steel duplex clips don't interfere with Yagi patterns. 73 Jim K6OK Tim K3LR wrote: "The problem is significant and is caused by
Thank you to everyone for your help and suggestions. Here is my build plan, from the top down. K0XG guy ring, has a vertical pivot for the torque arm. The torque arm is 20 in long, with an 11/16 hole
Jim I do not have SWR issues I am using a 5 el OWA yagi Based on the antenna handbook Home built My 15m yagi is within feet of the guy ring I am using the K0XG hardware Therefore I am familiar with t
