Could someone please give me a rough comparison of cost for Philystran versus the "usual" guying material? (aircraft cable?) This is for a 140' 45G tower. Thanks. Larry N8KU w w w . l o n g w i r e .

I went through this with a pencil last year when I put up my 80' 45G. Don't have the exact numbers handy, but after you add in the extra cost for the Philly, and then subtract a BUNCH of relatively e

P.S., the "usual" guying material is NOT aircraft cable. It's EHS steel, which is a whole different animal. 73, Jerry W5KP http://www.mscomputer.com additional 5 percent off any weather station price

Phyllistran runs around 45 cents a foot if I remember correctly. EHS can be had for around 11 to 13 cents a foot. Jerry's right about some of the extra costs, but consider that you will need grips fo

I don't see how the length of use factors into the equation. Either you want the non-interfering performance of the philly or you don't. The cost is $0.89/ft today plus $8.50 per grip. The cost is be

<<Phyllistran runs around 45 cents a foot if I remember correctly.>> Maybe for the small (antenna trussing) stuff, but for putting up Rohn tower you need at least the 3/16" EHS equivalent which is ar

I'm not sure where you can purchase small quantities of EHS. I think Texas Towers only sells it in 500' lengths so if you have a small installation, you may need to buy 500'. Unless you are in a high

Tessco sells EHS by the foot. Length of time does make a difference. Let's say I plan on putting up a 50 foot tower at my QTH. Now let's say that I think that in 5 years, I plan on moving and putting

Yep, Bill is right. As long as you use back-to-back grips with heavy duty thimbles (so they won't collapse under tension and put a sharp bend in the grip), I see no reason why longer guys can't be ma

Last time I bought Phillystran from Texas Tower, they sold it by the foot. I replaced my 1/4" ehs which had been up for 22 years. I tilt over my tower (80' of Rohn 45) and was getting concerned due t
