[Hi-zreceivingarraydiscussions] guying vertical antennas

[Dave Anderson]

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
