[TowerTalk] Phillystran to steel tower connection.

[James M. Galm, W8WTS]

I understand from previous posts that there is value in connecting a 
Phillystran guy cable to the steel tower with an insulator.  This avoids 
grounding the 3 ft long Phillystran big grip to the tower connection 
point, which will distort the pattern of nearby yagis.  What have people 
done to connect the insulator to the tower?  It would not be sensible to 
use two EHS big grips back to back with a short piece of EHS between 
them (one EHS BG at the insulator and the other at the tower), as that 
would defeat the purpose of the insulator.  Is there a connection means 
between the 502 insulator and a thimble that is only a few inches long?
