[TowerTalk] UV and WX deterioration of THHN insulation, and effects

[Rob Atkinson]

I wish to apologize for the caustic tone of my post this morning in
which I questioned Guy's statements regarding degradation of RF
current conductivity in THHN insulated copper wire over time in UV
exposure.  While I stand by my belief that his findings are flawed,
there was no excuse or reason for me to express myself in such a
contentious and abrasive fashion.  I believe Guy's intentions are
good--perhaps is wire samples are made to different standards, or
there are or were manufacturing variations between what I have worked
with and his.  At any rate I question what he has found, but I believe
my questioning could have been much more professional and I am sorry
it was not.
