[TowerTalk] Rotating tower guying question

[Bill via TowerTalk]

In FL that is not always the case.  The Philly I have on one  of my towers 
in FL is 25 years old and shows no wear.  In fact it is so old  it has the 
old style potting ends.  I doubt any guy wire that is that  old in FL shows 
no deterioration.
 
For my money, Polyrod is THE only way to go.  2/3 the cost of  Philly.  
It's what utility companies use.  I have about 200 ft of  brand new stuff left 
over from my current station that I plan to use out in KH6  for the new 
station.  Anyone have a few left over 5/16 PLP ends to  sell?

My gut  says EHS would outlast philly – easily – with UV being the primary 
villain for  the philly ... but I’ve heard of towers in FL that have been 
up now for 25  years with philly that are still standing – even to the point 
where the outer  coating has been totally degraded away... although that 
might seem reassuring  one has to couple with that the margins built into a 
tower  installation.
