"I then use ¼ inch  flooded heat shrink  on  the incapsalated live and 
tail end of the phillystran."

Can phillystran be heated without degradation?

I have T&B 3:1 glue lined thick wall heatshrink on a 30m inverted V, 
where 1/4" stainless cable, acting as the antenna, and guy, are crimped, 
and soldered into copper ferrules, then bolted onto a balun box.  I used 
5/16" dacron rope for the remainder of the run to 6' thimble eyes sunk 
~5' into the ground.  The lower ends of the rope, as well as the ends of 
the antenna cables, I intended to secure, and clean up with flat metal 
cable clamps, but never put them on:
