[TowerTalk] A-577 guy anchors

[Steve Maki]

I've handled this situation a couple different ways. I usually like to 
keep the equalizer plate(s) a little higher off the ground, so use a 
couple of 3' long parallel angles or plates, attached with a single 
large bolt in the anchor head, and a single large bolt with appropriate 
spacers to a single equalizer plate, to which the jaw end of turnbuckles 
are attached.

So, by using method of passing a bolt through triple eye and equalizer plates I could use a larger bolt and have the strength I wanted. The hole size through triple eye is limiting for larger shackle sizes.    The shackle would make for a little neater looking assembly as the equalizer plates would not be spread so much, but I could not get a 1" shackle through the triple eye. Byron W5FH
