[TowerTalk] Guy Grips

[Tower (K8RI)]

The cable is pulled taught, then starting at the thimble end the "big 
grip" is wound over the cable doing one turn on each side at a time.  
Actually the "Big Grips" used on Phillystrand do the first 3 turns on 
one side, then the three on the other. After that it's one turn on each 
side at a time.  Think of the grip acting similar to a "Chinese 
Handcuff".  They normally come with instructions.  If you don't have 
one, ask your grip supplier for one.
