Loos Tension Guage Calibration

[Walt Kornienko]

Hey all.

I just started tensioning guy wires using a Loos Tension
Guage. I'm using 1/4" EHS, 6500# breaking strength.  
Rohn specifies that the tension be set to 10% of the 
breaking strength, which in my case is 650#.  
The problem is that the Loos Guage calibration scale 
for 1/4" cable starts at over 700#.  Has anyone developed 
an interpolated, or any other type of, calibration chart 
for 1/4" cable which can be used below 700#?

Thanx for taking the time to read this.  73 de Walt - K2WK
