Hello

I want to guy the vertical antennas with rope or fishing nylon on my 4-8
pro. Over the years, the fiberglass rod on the base bended, and the
antennas are not straight any more

May I use metal guy rings in the vertical antenna to support the guys? Or
may I use something not conductive?

Hello Jorge,
   Metal guy rings will be just fine but must be bonded to the element somehow. If they are left  loose you could get micro arcs that could cause noise in the receiver. Something nonconductive would also be just fine.

Hi Jose

May I suggest that you tie black Dacron rope to the vertical then using good quality black electrical tape, tape over the knots on the antenna black Dacron in rope to form the guy ropes.  3M Black electrical tape lasts a very long time, cheap Chinese tape is worthless.

Thanks,
Dave Anderson, K4SV
