[CQ-Contest] Tower guying questions and Antenna software questions

[Robert Shohet]

Hi,

I would appreciate some help from the reflector as I 
locate items some items necessary for rebuilding my station.

1) Can anyone tell me the exact bolts I will need for use
with Star Guys, and where to purchase them?
I am guying 130' of Rohn 45 with 1/4" EHS.

Even better would be the Rohn Catalog drawing for Star guys
with a parts list.

2) Can someone please email me the YO antenna plot file
for the Hygain 40-2CD?  K6STI did not have that file and
I need it for some antenna/terrain modeling.

3) I have a lot of old 1/4" EHS guy wire than has been under leaves
and such for the past 7-8 years.  It has been discolored and
has some dirt in it but it is not rusted.  Will any residual dirt etc.
cause a safety issue with using preforms to grip the wire?

I can always buy new guy wire but I would prefer to use what I 
have as long as it is safe.

4) I need a source for stainless steel u-bolts 5/16" thick,
2 1/2" to 3" wide and about 3' 3/4" to 4" long.  I use these
more durable u-bolts for my T2X rotators.  Home Depot
does not carry them anymore.

Does anyone know a reliable source for these?

Please reply privately off the reflector to kq2m at earthlink.net
Many thanks for your help!
