Hi Carl Yes it seems that we stumbles across the same Crew :) . No not really but the same experience. The " Strand" what they called it ran from pole to pole or was used as down guy pole wires when the ENG. required it for the extra pole line capacity. Because I was breaking up my guys . I had access to all the STUMP spools of strand. These were one's that they perceived to be less then 200 Feet, the distance between poles. I also given a full 5000 ft. roll that was dropped and the wooden side was broken off. So they would not even TRY to cart it for installation. So being a Ham you never know what scrounging my turn up.... And I don't want to talk about all the CATV line YIKES Wayne W3EA . .
From: [email protected]. Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2014 10:30:43 -0400 Thanks for that nice report Wayne. Those are the same Grips Im using here. I dont know about these days but when I was installing the 4 towers here I was informed that Rohn EHS was made in Korea as was just about all the utility and CATV strand. Rohn just added a premium cost to it. When this town was cabled I got literally miles of left over 1/4 EHS and hardline from 1/2 to 7/8 for a couple of cases of beer. I used my 2 axle race car trailer to move it. The installers had already been paid and dont transport but very little extra and besides their next job was in OH....real gypsies and higher than a kite most of the time. _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
