[TowerTalk] meltable guys and lightening

[sdetloff@metlife.com (Scott R Detloff)]

I suffered a Phillystran  strut failure on one of my 48' 20M booms.
When it was taken down to be repaired, both ends of the break
were "melted", posibly from lightning.  Funny thing was that it was
the yagi at 100' in a 50/100/150' stack.
