[TowerTalk] Phillystran Cable Question

[K7LXC at aol.com]

>  I'm going to be using Phillystran Cable .22 size and am  not able to use 
the "Big Grip" on a couple of the ends & was wondering  if a standard 
"guy wire clamp" can be used and what is the recommended  configuration? 
It appears that DX Engr. recommends that guy wire clamps only  be used on 
.17 and smaller.
 
    Yes, only on the smaller sizes since there's no Big  Grip for them. The 
factory does not recommend using cable clamps since over time  the aramid 
fibers will cold flow and reduce the strength of the Phillystran. 
 
    What's the reason why you can't use the Big Grips  "on a couple of 
ends"?
