[TowerTalk] ferrites on guy wires

[Mmoon3@aol.com]

OK, maybe this is a stupid question...

Any thoughts on using ferrite beads (big ones) over steel guy wires?  If they
were properly weatherproofed and strain reliefed, could they be used to break-
up resonances in guy lines?  How about spraying a carbon coating on the wire
to act as a resistive absorber?

I already have all the 504 insulators I need, but I was just wondering about
the ferrites.  Also poured the concrete today on my 60' of 45G!  Oh boy.
