For those using "aircraft" control cable or similar stranded galvanized or stainless steel wire as combined guy wires/top hat loading wires, did you take any special precautions in attaching to the m

I've had good results with similar connections by using a suitable conductive grease. I believe that these are mentioned in the ARRL Antenna Handbook. I've used both "Noalox", and "Penetrox". Be sure

I forgot to mention that after using the conductive grease, I apply sel-vulcanizing electrician's tape. This is the kind of tape where the rubber molds into itself and it becomes inseparable. It's si

Hi Bill, FWIW, I've been using Copperweld (R) guy wire for guying 47 ft "TV" masts at my QTH. It's a stranded cable 7 x #18 guage. If you are interested, I'll look up the supplier. 73, Charlie N0TT

using Hi, Riki I've used that rubber tape for years with excellent results. However, it will not withstand ultraviolet from sunlight. For that reason the rubber tape should be applied first and then

... did you take any special precautions in attaching to the mast/tower for good electrical conductivity? I installed lengths of tinned braid under the guy wire clamps, and attached these to the towe

Bill- Most probably it's because the connection is not really "sealed". There are usually microscopic crevices betweeen parts where moisture vapor can enter, and this vapor may condense into water -

I've used ultra-violet resistant self-vulcanizaing tape for many years with no apparent degradiation. This was in 4X where ultra-violet intensity is extremely strong. The tape was manufactured by "Sc
