Mike,
Kevlar - Positive comments:
1. Kevlar does not need to be broken into non-resonating lengths with
insulators.
2. Kevlar is stronger all things considered.
Kevlar - Negative comments:
1. Kevlar costs more.
2. Kevlar will stretch. You need to check the tensioning frequently for the
first few days/weeks/months.
3. There is more experience in the ham radio community with EHS.
I chose EHS because it was recommended by Rohn in all of their manuals AND
because my Elmer recommended it. I figured if I ever got called into court I
could say I followed the letter as well as the intent of the manufacturer's
guide.

Ok guys start your engines....this reflector has convinced me to " guy " my
30' Rohn 25G tower project vs, free-standing.
The next question: other than higher first costs, does using Kevlar guys have
advantages over EHS or PhillY?
