I misunderstood the original point I guess. I though the
idea was being presented we can just run steel guys right up
to the tower without insulators to sectionalize the guy.

All my towers use steel guys. I use many insulators. I try
to not be much over 1/4 wl long for guys near antennas. I
use fiberglass links near VHF antennas.

I've used fiberglass guys on BC towers, but not at home. Not
yet, but I eventually will. I'm eventually going to use
polygon rod so I can slide dipoles, ropes, and other stuff
up and down and in and out without snagging on all those
grips and insulators!!!
