[TowerTalk] Phillystran Tension Gage

[Wayne Kline]

I have been using Loose gauge for years on EHS and Phillystran/EHS tailed guyed towers.  If I get a chance Ill get my 12 step ladder and measure the difference between the EHS tail and the Phillystran.   But I concur with John.  It's a great tool to adjust for egual  tension
