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 connection point, which will distort the pattern of nearby yagis. What have people done to connect the insulator to the tower? It would not be sensible to use two EHS big grips back to back with a short piece of EHS between them (one EHS BG at the insulator and the other at the tower), as that would defeat the purpose of the insulator. Is there a connection means between the 502 insulator and a thimble that is only a few inches long?

73,

Jim, W8WTS
