The power company trucks around here use a lot of 1/4" and 5/16 HS but
the CATV company uses 1/4" EHS as their strand support between poles.
Most guy cable comes from Korea and EHS is EHS even when Rohn puts their
name on the reel. CATV reel ends are a cheap way to get what you need,
just be sure to check the ID label to be sure it is EHS.
