[TowerTalk] Adding insulators to bottom guys

[K7LXC--- via TowerTalk]

>  I have a 100' R25 guyed with 1/4" EHS. The bottom set of  guys are not
insulated. I would like to add insulators and would like some  guidance. Can
I drop the bottom set without temp guys?


Howdy --
 
    I recommend Philly or Polyrod for populated  towers but the advantages 
of an insulated guy for the bottom set is pretty  marginal since the rf goes 
out horizontally and has little or no effect on  antennas on the top of the 
tower. If it was my tower, I wouldn't bother. It's  not worth the expense 
or work IMO.
