[TowerTalk] Guy wire Clamps

[dan hearn]

During my many years in ham radio, I have always used unguyed towers. I
am now faced with installing a cable hook on some wire rope using cable
clamps. A recent post by W8JI indicates that these should be installed
with the saddle on the load bearing cable side and the u bolt on the
flying end of the cable. I believe that I have seen this same
instruction somewhere else. I am pretty sure that the information is
correct but this seems backward to what I would come up with
intuitively. Can someone clarify this situation? 

Tnx, Dan, N5AR
