Subject: C3/guy Interaction?
Author: Blake Meinecke <n4gi@tampabay.rr.com>

After mucho testing, I think I've narrowed my C3 SWR problems to guy
interaction. My top guys are only broken once at the very top, only the
length of 2 big grips before the insulator (approx 5 feet). Beam is 8"
above the flat-top (@ 50'). SWR is mega-squirrly (mainly on 10) when the
boom of the C3 is in line with any of the guys.

I'm in the process of replacing the top guys with phillystran for other
reasons anyway, but I was wondering if anyone else ever such a thing? (It
all just sounds so goofy that I had to ask).

73,
Blake N4GI
