[TowerTalk] Reusing guy lines ...

[john at kk9a.com]

Decades ago Phillystran used cable clamps on 6700 and smaller but not
11200.  Early HPTG 11200I that I bought had factory installer spelter
sockets. You can still order it this way or use Big Grips, at least on
newer Phillystran.  I would not use cable clamps with this product.  If I
installed the Big Grip I would not hesitate to reuse it.

I bought 120’ of R55 used ... it came with 2 sets of guys – both 5/16” ...
all
preassembled using 1/2” thimbles and big grips at one end and 1/2”
thimbles and
clamps at the other ... Their individual lengths are too short for my one top
guy use (1/2 of the guy is philly 11200#, 1/2 using 5/16” EHS) ... but if I
remove the 3 saddle clamps on one end only I can ‘couple’ the two together
(using thimble to thimble) and then use a new big grip at the
ground/turnbuckle
end...
