[TowerTalk] Guying Aluminum Towers

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

I have a 70' Universal aluminum tower which I want to guy in two places.  Has 
anyone any ideas as to the best way to attach the guys to the tower?

In the Universal pamplets of the 70s they suggested running the guys  THROUGH 
the insides of the zig zag weld joints, just like the guys do on Rohn if  not 
using guy brackets.
 
I solved the problem of galvanic action by putting a piece of garden hose  
around the EHS guy wire so it would not come in direct contact with the  
aluminum.
