Mark-
The Rohn book specifies guying at 3 levels for 100' of R45.
Top guy called out at 1/4" EHS, and other two at 3/16" EHS.
I think you could safely assume that if you used Mastrant product equal in
working load capacity to the EHS you would be OK. I would definitely defer
to the
tower erection experts on this group, though.
Don't know about deterioration from sunlight, weather, etc.
And I sure wouldn't use it at the bottom end where it would be subject to
damage
from critters, humans, fires, etc.
FWIW.
