Today I lost my HyTower. 70+ MPH gust tore it loose & broke the 3 cone 
shaped insulators. Antenna is in very gud shape as it fell onto  very 
soft wet soil. I have the old T base & it's a bit kinked but fixable. 
The new solid triange base has different hole spacing  so I must go with 
what I have. I'm thinking of guying  the HT after it's repaired. Cheaper 
than going thru this again. Can I use the lightweight 1200 Lb 
Phillystran guys the same  way as EHS. Nothing fancy just looped thru 
insulators to guy posts. Can it be cable clamped? Guys I'm not guying a 
monster tower with yagis. I just want the HT to stay up. I'm open to 
suggestions. Can't use poly type rope here in the South. Sun does a fast 
number on that stuff.  I need a non conductor guy that won't self 
destruct in a year.
