Subject: [TowerTalk] Spring between equalizer plate and earth anchor

A local ham told me to get some heavy duty hood springs from a 1950-1960's
car and put them between my guy wire equalizer plates and earth anchors.

This is to "prevent backlash" during storm force winds.

 

Any thoughts on this?  

 

I think if Rohn didn't engineer it to work that way - then don't.
