Good stuff Time Owned: more than 12 months.
When I installed my 6BA-JK I decided to go with the 6700 Phillystran. Great stuff, and as another reviewer noted, when you figure in the cost of preform grips and egg insulators, it is not that much more expensive.
Before you go to the trouble of calculating non-resonate lengths and buying a ton of insulators and preforms, just use Phillystran. You will be glad you did!
Be sure and get the tail ends with the large insulators for the bottom ends. There is a complete tail end kit you can buy to take care of that.

Good Product Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Phillystran is indeed a good product, And really not any more expensive than using egg insulators to break up guy wires into non resonant lengths.
Do follow the instructions to NOT use Phillystran near the ground. Use EHS guy wire for the lower part of all guys.
I have had some up for over 20 years now, Really no stretching like there would be with some other non conducting materials like rope, etc.

No more steel for me! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
After re-setting my modest 40' Rohn G25 I decided to try Phillystran on the guys. All I can say is this stuff is great and not really any more expensive than steel. The Guy-Grips are a great addition. They were a little tricky to get started at first but after a couple, it became very easy. So much better than the traditional clamps. A second benifit is being non-metalic there is no concern about breaking up the guy lengths to avoid resonence. I highly recommend Phillistran (available from Texas Towers) to anyone needing to guy a tower or mast.
