[TowerTalk] Loos 90 B with 5/16 EHS and guy tensioning

[Steve Miller]

Does anyone have a lookup table for the Loos 90 B 
guage relating the guage reading to tension when 
using 5/16 EHS? I seem to recall seeing this info 
somewhere but cannot locate it....

While we're at it, are there any recommedations 
for tensioning guys made of Polygon fiberglass 
rod with 5/16 EHS 'tails'? My guess is that 
fiberglass requires less tension than EHS for an 
equivalent amount of sag/slack, but how does the 
difference in elasticity affect tensioning 
requirements? 

TIA,

Steve  N8SM/5
