Jerry,
If you have raw tubing with no internal parts, I would consider drilling
and inserting 3/4 in or 1 in metal screw eyes. It that is not possible,
three half-hitches with the bitter end also brought around and tied to
the body of the line would also work. If you are concerned about the
line slipping, clamp the 3 or 4 lines to the antenna with circle
clamps. They can be completely opened so you can avoid taking the
antenna apart to mount the circle clamps. For the average antenna, you
probably want to mount your lines at least up about 3/4 of the way to
the top.
Cheers,
John / WA1JG

Hello,
I have a vertical made from tubing and need to attach guys to it. The
guy material is small phillystran. One thought is to make some guy
rings to go around the tubing ? The vertical is a old Titanex V160.
The tubing goes from 80 mm to 73mm / 73mm to 60mm then 40, 30 22, 18
mm. The total height will be 32 mh (105 ft). The 80 and 73 mm tubing
are 6m long.
Thanks for your input !
73, Jerry, KE9I
