[edit] Etymology
anyone know where guy wires originated? the name?
- Yes, where did this term come from? WilliamKF 23:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] example for structural insulator failure
there was this swedish (?) long wave transmitter, the center mast fell because of a lightning destroying one of the insulators (though not one of the guy wires, but of the mast itself) --Deelkar (talk) 02:57, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Clean-up
I tried to clean up this article to make it flow a little better. I also wikified it quite a bit.
I am a bit fuzzy on some of the techincal discussions involving the effect of guy wires on broadcasting but I tried to clarify it as much as possible. Someone with a better grasp of radio communications should take a crack at this.
[edit] Mast antennas
This phrase 'mast antennas' must I think have been translated from German. It relates to what are known in the UK as 'mast radiators', which now have their own page. For some reason many mast-related pages are full of this stuff, and it needs weeding out. Spliced 19:56, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] guy-wire and guy wire
which is correct? both forms are used in the article.
Ans..Both are currently used in the industry and can be used either way when ordering the wire from the manufactures. The term guy wire itself describes the application and not the wire. Most steel wire comes in various forms that are descriptive of both its mechanical properties and physical characteristics. such as EHS, Bridge stand, 19 strand or aviation just to name a few. -JM
