[TowerTalk] hanging Heliax

[KC2TN]

Richard,

	With regards to your "Grounding" question, I used Gene's (AD3F) grounding
method several years ago.
Photos are posted at http://picasaweb.google.com/kc2tnpix under "Ham Radio
Tower Grounding - Coax and Tower"

This method works very well, is very easy and is cost effective.

Richard:

     I posted something here a few years ago about my home-made ground clamp
system for RG-213, viz.:

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.

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
