Bill   I am doing almost the same thing you are.  3 ele steppIR and 2 Ele 40 
meter on top.  I am using 65 feet Phillystran only on the top guy set.  I am 
using 3 sets of guy wires also.  On the 2nd set I have the long 4 feet 
insulators that Georgia Power use then a couple insulators down the guy wire 
that was set up by someone else.
My top section will be hear Monday and I can finish up my 100 feet Rohn 45 
tower.
I will be moving my antennas from my 60 foot tower to the new 100 foot tower 
with a tram line. That should be fun.
