Probably he plucked like a guitar string and figured if it didn't break
it was ok.
I've seen a HAM tower guyed with poly rope. I told him he had to climb
it himself if he wanted the antenna on it. He did it, the whole
structure swayed while he was on it. No thanks.

You gotta wonder how the ham checked it. I would want to know the type
of tensiometer. If he came back with "what is a tensiometer" then I
would be concerned about climbing it too.

We've got some towers that our climbers are concerned about because
they
feel the guy wires are loose. We've had them checked by the HAM that
built several of our towers including one in question and he said they
are fine but there does seem to be a difference in the slack compared
to
other towers we own. Is there hands on training we can get on
tensioning guy wires or is someone in the southeast willing to host two
or three people for a few hours for training?
