 Why copying the "professionals?" Myself, I am using the tape usually used to 
tape ducts. No, not duct-tape or, as it sometimes is called "duck-tape". "Real" 
duct-tape is a wide tape with an aluminum backing and fiber inlay. The aluminum 
makes it UV-hardened, the fiber makes it strong and the width make it not 
making any deep impression on the cable. Have used that for several years and 
shown no sign of deterioration.

Want to attach 1/2" and or 7/8" hard line to Rohn tower specifcally Rohn 55 on 
one tower face horizontal brace or the tower leg and  want to know if anybody 
has done this with brackets or some sort of attachments from a 3rd party 
manufacturer of said brackets or hardware? A search of the Rohn catalog did not 
seem to reveal any sort of hardware available from them.Has anybody else found 
a source for such a thing and a fairly easy efficient install for running the 
hard line up the tower? Similar to the neat arrangement we all see on 
commercial installs such as cell sites, etc.I can go with the old standby of 33 
tape, black ties wraps etc. however if possible I would like to install the 
clamping material to hold the hard line securely in place as it goes up the 
tower and be done with it.Thanks Charles
