[TowerTalk] Securing feedlines to tower legs

[Jim Idelson]

Hi all,

Rework of all antennas has led to rework of feedlines and control cables . . . 

I plan to reroute and secure the cables up the entire length of the tower. I 
don't like the previous methods I've used:

1.  Cable ties around tower legs add another place for your climbing lanyard to 
bind on.
2.  A lot of cable ties suffer from environmental breakdown.
3.  Electrical tape is pretty good, EXCEPT when you need to change a single 
cable, you don't want to remove them all! How do you attach cables to tower 
legs so they are individually serviceable?

Currently, this Rohn 25 tower has six RG-213 runs, one 1/2-inch hardline run 
and three control cables terminating at various heights.

73,

Jim K1IR
