[TowerTalk] Guy wire interaction - the devil is in the details

[W8JI@contesting.com (Tom Rauch)]

Hi Dave,

You are right. Virtually ALL charts ignore capacitance across the 
strain insulators, and the self-capacitance of the loop ends.

Because of that, most non-resonant lengths listed are somewhat  
incorrect.
