> I do not think that guy tension is critical and in my opinion having the
Loos gauge is much better than eyeballing it, which is what I did before
buying the gauge from Champion Radio. As tension is applied all cables
become stiff, even Phillystran, and the gauge reading is accurate enough. I
have measured various tower sections and accessories and nothing is
precisely manufactured.
Tnx for your comments. When you add in ambient temperature, guy
tension does vary and I appreciate John's practical approach which coincides
with
mine. Since 80% of owners don't know what their guy tension is anyway, the
Loos offers a pretty good resource and since IMO the most important thing
is that all the guys have the same tension, the Loos gives you a chance to
do that.
