[TowerTalk] Mastrant Premium Rope for Tower Guying

[Dennis W0JX]

After looking at the Mastrant Premium synthetic rope at Xenia, I am considering its use for guying an 80 foot tower.  The specifications are very close to Phillystran but the per foot price is much more reasonable and there are some easy ways to connect the rope to shackles and other end connectors.
I am looking to find someone in the USA who has installed an 80 foot or taller tower using Mastrant Rope on a permanent basis. The vendors could not give me any names.  Apparently, this rope is very popular in Europe where it has been used on some very tall towers.
If anyone out there has used the premium grade Mastrant "M" I would like to hear from you. I am considering the 5/16 inch rope with 5730 lbs breaking strength and 1720 lbs working strength.
