Hi Carl
Yes it seems that we stumbles across the same Crew :) . No not really
but the same experience.
The " Strand" what they called it ran from pole to pole or was used as
down guy pole wires when the
ENG. required it for the extra pole line capacity.
Because I was breaking up my guys . I had access to all the STUMP spools
of strand.
These were one's that they perceived to be less then 200 Feet, the distance
between poles.
I also given a full 5000 ft. roll that was dropped and the wooden side was
broken off.
So they would not even TRY to cart it for installation.
So being a Ham you never know what scrounging my turn up....
And I don't want to talk about all the CATV line YIKES

Thanks for that nice report Wayne. Those are the
same Grips Im using here.
I dont know about these days but when I was
installing the 4 towers here I was informed that Rohn EHS was made in Korea as
was just about all the utility and CATV strand. Rohn just added a premium cost
to it.
When this town was cabled I got literally miles of
left over 1/4 EHS and hardline from 1/2 to 7/8 for a couple of cases of beer. I
used my 2 axle race car trailer to move it. The installers had already
been paid and dont transport but very little extra and besides their next job
was in OH....real gypsies and higher than a kite most of the time.
