Conduit should only be used on rooftops (cable trays can be expensive)
and tower situations where heavy RF interference is leaking into the cable.
In an ideal world to run cable up the tower you do a cable ladder and
cable blocks: https://www.sitepro1.com/store/cart.php?m=product_list&c=4

The only ones that I'd give a hard-no to are to cable in conduit going
up the tower (would result in a lot of pull on the cables as they
aren't attached for a very long distance; limits upgrade options) and
the grease/spray on cat5 ends (unless you're at sea or very humid areas).

Most of those things are a good idea, even if not completely
necessary (a lot of it, like shielded cable, is necessary, in my
opinion).
Steel cable ties sound like a bad idea (assuming you're talking
about the zip tie type... I imagine that would tend to cut through
cables).
If you've had problems with guy wires rusting, then I would
probably look into stainless steel, but I think galvanized is
generally fine... I'm certainly not an expert on that subject though.

Hi Guys
I’m continually improving my 15 year old Wisp and had some
questions..
Do you guys ground all your base radios?
Do you use surge suppressors?
Do you use shielded cable on the towers with metal ends?
Do you put all your cable in conduit going up the tower?
Do you use steel cable ties?
Do you put some kind of grease or spray on the cat5 end before
you set in place?
Do you use stainless steel guy wires?
My answer to all these is no ☹ but I figure if I’m rebuilding
I should do it right the 5^th time!
Thanks very much for any idea’s
Rhys
