[TowerTalk] Vertical and guys question

[scottw3tx at verizon.net]

Hi Gerry,

An easy way to do this is using some 1/8 alum plate to make passive rings that nest on top of existing screws going through the tubing. 

I believe that dx engineering sells these  or something similar as premade parts 

That being said you need to be careful about guying the Titanex alloy. Consult their product literature. Many of their products were designed to be freestanding and guying them in the wrong location can actually result in mechanical failure.

Best regards,
Scott W3TX

Hello,

I have a vertical made from tubing and need to attach guys to it. The guy material is small phillystran. One thought is to make some guy rings to go around the tubing ? The vertical is a old Titanex V160. The tubing goes from 80 mm to 73mm / 73mm to 60mm then 40, 30 22, 18 mm. The total height will be 32 mh (105 ft). The 80 and 73 mm tubing are 6m long.

Thanks for your input !

73, Jerry, KE9I
