I've gone brain dead, help me with this simple question. At the bottom end of my 1/4 EHS guy wire I am connecting the guy wire to a GAC3455 anchor rod/equalizer plate. I am terminating the EHS with a

Actually, I believe the book calls for E&E vs E&J if you are using equalizer plates. At least that's what I did with my 80' 45G I just finished putting up. If a guy did use the E&J, the J would have

I'll bet that 98% of hams don't know what their guy wire tension is. Tower guy wire tension is typically 10% of the breaking strength. For 3/16" EHS with 3990 pounds BS it would be 400# tension. For

While we're on the subject of guys and tensioning, what is the method used to pre-tension the guys before attaching the turnbuckles to the anchor rod equalizing plates? I don't think I can pull them

The way it's done is to have 3 cable-pullers (comealongs) and 3 cable grips. The Klein Chicago grips are the ones the pros use. They're springloaded and are easily attached and removed from the cable

I use a cable type comealong to pull in guy wires, and only use the turnbuckle for fine tuning the tension. I place an "auxiliary guy anchor eye" available from most utility supply companys on the an

The zinc coating will be fine... but only for as long as it lasts, and then you're down to bare steel which is useless. So the answer depends entirely on the chemistry of your soil. At this QTH, a pr
