[TowerTalk] Cable ties, tape or both?

[ersmar at comcast.net]

Dick:

     Neither.  I use a length of #14 or #12 solid insulated house wire as my cable ties.  They are (or used to be) relatively cheap and are re-useable.  I wrap a turn of wire around the tower member and twist the wire where it crosses itself, to anchor the wire to the tower.  Then I wrap the wire ends around the cable bundle, twist and voila'  - nice and secure.
