[TowerTalk] Turnbuckles with Rod Sides

[Wayne Kline]

I Ditto that Dave.


The Bible ( Rohn Catalogs ) as  far back as I can remember always had a diagram in the  "general " Tab of the catalog  regarding

A: the Safety Wire ( through the turnbuckles Bodies and Eyes   )


B: and if not using  PLP Preforms  Serving the EHS guy wire   . after the last cable clamp .

Same here.  That 1/4 EHS works great.

> When using turnbuckles, *don't forget to safety wire them*.  I have never
seen a ham safety wire a turnbuckle.

My turnbuckles are all wired.  I just take a cut off piece of guy wire and
loop it through the bodies of all the turnbuckles and then through the live
side eyes, that way neither side can turn.
