I am putting up 100 feet of Rohn 55 and have a guy wire question.  My 
preference is to use Phyllistrand nonconductive guys and I have no experience 
with this product having always used 3/16 inch steel.

My question is which size of the Phyllistrand to use.   I believe there are 
four different sizes of Phyllistrand available.  The PHTG21001 has a breaking 
strength of 2100 pounds and the HPTG 40001 is rated at 4000 pounds.  

The 3/16 inch EHS is rated around 3900 pounds and I have never had a failure 
with this particular guy cable size.

Would the 2100 pound Phyllistrand work OK?   Any recommendations would be 
appreciated. Thanks.
