[TowerTalk] u clamp sizes for phyllistran?

[Brian Alsop]

Hi Jay,

That's it.  Many years ago I installed a Glenn Martin 70' aluminum tower
which used 4000I philly and used cable clamps.   Perhaps it was wrong 
engineering but the tower stayed up.  No doubt being able to crank down 
the antennas during approaching hurricanes may have helped.  The 
possibly more damaging "microbursts" of course couldn't be predicted.
