[TowerTalk] Polygon Guy Rods

[Tim Duffy]

I participated in a group buy of Polygon Rod in the late 1980s. Quite a
learning curve.

Even UV stabilized is only good for about 10 years - then needs replaced.
Difficult to work with.

I had one Polygon rod guy break mid span on my 40 meter tower (it was 5
years old). That was the end.

Just finished this summer getting all of the Polygon rod replaced with
Phillystran on the tall towers at K3LR. Properly maintained and inspected
Phillystran with the appropriate preformed line grip terminations should
last 30 plus years - no breaks or surprises so far with Phillystran.

Is it still possible to do the group buys on the Polygon pultrusion
fiberglass rods ? Any Interest ? I have several towers going up soon and
could use some. Ron WV4P
