[TowerTalk] Cutting 3/16" Stainless Steel Guy Cable

[Wyllma Wall]

Hi All,
The only thing needed is -
A large (1-1/4") cold chisel, a steel plate and a 30 oz. hammer. Wrap cable
with tape where the cut is desired. Practice and one blow will cut it.
                                                                 Bill  KC4UZ
