[Towertalk] Mixing EHS and Phillystran

[n4kg@juno.com]

N4ZR has recommended at least 1/2 WL of insulated guy
(of the Lowest Frequency Antenna on the tower )
between the top to the tower and a continuous
conductive guy wire.  That's 35 ft for 20M.  
I'd go with at least 50' for the top guy and maybe
even the next lower guy (or ALL guys).
