Richard:

     I posted something here a few years ago about my home-made ground clamp system for RG-213, viz.:  http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Towertalk/2002-07/msg00698.html .  You can probably adapt the process to Andrew Heliax as well.  Someone on this reflector posted photos of this assembly.  Maybe they can re-post for you to help out.

Subject: [TowerTalk] hanging Heliax

I am about to install two runs of 7/8 Heliax (LDF5) and three of 1/2 
Heliax (LDF4) going up a 55 foot tower. 

Can I use hose clamps to secure the cable?

Can I use lots of heavy plastic tie wraps (1/2" wide)?

Can I use the hose clamps around the connector for grounding at the 
top or do I need to use the Andrews grounding kits?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Richard W5SXD
