>18 big grips than 100' of Philly (weighs the same as rope) and six >Philly grips? Or maybe you got the insulators and the grips laying >around. Hmmm - now let me see if this makes sense? Assume a 100 ft guy Case 1 Phyllistran from Burghardt http://www.burghardt-amateur.com/ HPTG 4000I Phillystran 0.85/ft * 100 = $85.00 (US) (Texas Towers is $0.89 foot) Phillystran 3/8" GRIP WITH THIMBLE 2100I 2 x $6.49 (US) = $13.00 (Texas Towers 8.50 each) Total $170 Canadian including Federal tax and NOT including shipping and handling (exchange rate $1 US = $1.63 Canadian and Federal Tax = 7%) Case 2 3/16" EHS from Princess Auto http://www.princessauto.com/ 100 ft 3/16 EHS - $20 Can 2 Thimble - $.60 Can 3 Grips /$1.20 x 18 = 21.00 9 Ceramic egg type power line insulators $3 each from the scrap yard = $27 Total Cost $78 Canadian including 15% Federal & Provincial sales tax and no shipping required Phyllistran/EHS = $170 / $78 or Phyllistran is about 2 times the cost NOT including shipping. I guess it is best to check the fact! ... sylvan Ô¿Ô¬ ---------------- Sylvan Katz, VE5ZX Saskatoon, SK "A Novel Perspective of Amateur Radio Contesting" at http://www.dynamicforesight.com/~ve5zx -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
