[TowerTalk] SS cable for crank-up?

[w6rgs]

Art, I wouldn't bother with the ss cables. Galvanized with lube is fine.  My WT51 has had galvanized cables for 7 years and all is fine. As far as cost, take your cables to one of your local rigging shops and save money and time.  Remember to take pics of your cable routing for reinstallation.

I see Tashjian offers 1/4-inch SS option for replacement cables for my WT-51. Cost is almost 2x standard galvanized, which is also 1/4 inch.I'm in Florida and wonder if SS is worth it given high humidity most of the year, and a lot of rain spring and summer. Would SS cables require less maintenance (Pre-Lube periodically)?Thanks.-- Art GreenbergWA2LLNart at artg.tv______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
