[Drax Felton]

For my tower of the roughly same dimensions I broke up my guys with
insulators with this pattern on all six guys.
10 feet -- insulator -- 10 feet -- insulator -- rest of the cable.

I came up with 10 feet by referring to the chart in the ARRL Antenna Book
which considers resonance on your desired frequency of operation.
I set mine based on 20, 15, and 10 meters.

I'm putting up 60' of Rohn 25g and will have guys at 28' (56' long) and at
56' (75' long).? If I use EHS, is there an optimal spot to break the guys up
with insulators???Is there anyplace on the web that explains this or does
someone know the optimum place for them?
?
Thanks.
