[TowerTalk] Polygon Rod Quote

[Cqtestk4xs@aol.com]

I just received a quote from polygon for 1000 feet of black 3/8th polyrod in
coil form.  $670.00 per coil and $500.00 set up charge.  This does not
include shipping.  If anyone would like to add to this order, please get
back to me within the next two weeks.  I will request another quote with
shipping direct to anyone who adds on...........W7IJ

I believe you can avoid the set up charge by having a a 5000 ft order.  There 
was not a setup charge when we put the orders in for the last two years.

By the way, you must have a pretty heavy duty tower like Rohn 65 or something 
along those lines, since the maximum recommended guy wire for Rohn 55 and 
below is only 5/16.  If you are using it to guy those towers, you will have to 
tension it at the usual 10% which would make it around 1500 pounds or so on each 
guy...in excess of what is recommended for those towers.
