[TowerTalk] Using kevlar for top section of guys

I'll be installing a guyed AB-577 50 ft mast to be topped with either a 
small tribander or quad.  The AB-577 uses three sets of guys.  Should the 
upper ends of the top guys (within a few feet of the beam/quad elements) use 
a 15 odd feet section of non-conductive kevlar and steel for the rest of the 
length of the top guy?

Would appreciate advice - not much experience with guyed supports and 
electrical interaction therewith.

Tnx & 73,
Barry  N1EU
