[TowerTalk] polyrod

[Cqtestk4xs@aol.com]

I was asked off the reflector about Polyrod.  For those not aware of the 
product..

Polyrod is a solid fiberglass rod product which is used by the professionals 
to guy towers and is used in the power grid systems to guy poles.  Polyrod has 
been used by many hams including W5TM, K4JA, myself and others to guy their 
towers.  The last time a bunch of us ordered the 5/16 stuff which is equivalent 
to 5/16 inch EHS, my cost including shipping was under $.50 per foot.....way 
below the cost of the 5/16 equivalent Phillystran.  It is terminated by 
special PLP grips, just like EHS is.

It's manufactured by Polygon, located in Indiana.  It's spring, isn't it 
about time for another mass order?
