[TowerTalk] Attaching lazy-vee array to Phillystran guys

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier query.  With your help, 
and some advice from my mechanical engineer son, I used a foot-long 
piece of thinwall CPVC tubing to construct a sliding mount for the 
center insulator of the first lazy-vee dipole yesterday.  I slit it on 
the circular saw, pried the slit open to fit over the guy, and then used 
black ty-wraps and type 88 vinyl tape to  attach the center insulator 
and re-close it.  It moves really easily on the guy, and my expectation 
is that spreading any load across the foot-long surface (plus some 
careful sanding of the inside of the tubing to remove any burrs) should 
result in minimal abrasion of the Philly.
