[TowerTalk] Vertical and guys question

[GALE STEWARD]

I used galvanized steel conduit clamps on my vertical, two per level. You can attach two guys per clamp. My 80/160 vertical (60 ft high) uses four guys each at two levels (20 and 42 ft).

Jerry,

If you have raw tubing with no internal parts, I would consider drilling 
and inserting 3/4 in or 1 in metal screw eyes.  It that is not possible, 
three half-hitches with the bitter end also brought around and tied to 
the body of the line would also work. If you are concerned about the 
line slipping, clamp  the 3 or 4 lines to the antenna with circle 
clamps.  They can be completely opened so you can avoid taking the 
antenna apart to mount the circle clamps.  For the average antenna, you 
probably want to mount your lines at least up about 3/4 of the way to 
the top.

Cheers,

John  /  WA1JG
