Today I lost my HyTower. 70+ MPH gust tore it loose & broke the 3 cone shaped insulators. Antenna is in very gud shape as it fell onto very soft wet soil. I have the old T base & it's a bit kinked but fixable. The new solid triange base has different hole spacing so I must go with what I have. I'm thinking of guying the HT after it's repaired. Cheaper than going thru this again. Can I use the lightweight 1200 Lb Phillystran guys the same way as EHS. Nothing fancy just looped thru insulators to guy posts. Can it be cable clamped? Guys I'm not guying a monster tower with yagis. I just want the HT to stay up. I'm open to suggestions. Can't use poly type rope here in the South. Sun does a fast number on that stuff. I need a non conductor guy that won't self destruct in a year.
