[TowerTalk] Can´t add egg insulator...

[Douglas Ruz (CO8DM)]

Hi,

Thanks Roger and Jeff for the information.

I will seach on internet...maybe i can find a video describing this method.

If i learn how to do it, i can use that method in the tower side and also to
connect the egg insulators, then i will use the clamps only to connect the
guy cable to the turnbuckles.

It sound very hard but i think it is very reliable.

I remember few months ago a Team of climbers here changing all guy wires of
an AM Broadcasting tower, they have been working with a bar stock in a
terminating EHS guy wire (about 1/2" EHS cable or bigger)...they install a
lot of huge insulator per guy wire to, as all of you know, use the tower as 
a
vertical antenna on the AM Band...I will try contact that people and i will 
ask about that method.
