[TowerTalk] Cable Work

[john at kk9a.com]

This reminded me of a pressed sleeve failure on a wire rope that I once had with a brand new Telrex beam. Since then I have not trusted them. Anyway I think non-metallic Phillystran is a much better choice for a boom trusses, I use stainless steel cable clamps with mine instead of Big Grips.
