I used galvanized steel conduit clamps on my vertical, two per level. You can
attach two guys per clamp. My 80/160 vertical (60 ft high) uses four guys each
at two levels (20 and 42 ft).

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
