This kit is intended for taller, multi-point guyed antennas.

Some vertical manufactures indicate their antennas do not need guying. During times of high winds or ice loading however, some of these verticals may sustain damage or fail altogether. With the small amount of effort needed to install a four point guying system, the risk hardly seems worth taking. A four-point guying scheme provides the best mechanical advantage to prevent wind stress, regardless of direction.  The guying is intended for stability, and should never be depended on for primary support.

A four point guying system is recommended for use with a DX Engineering Tilt-Base, because just one of the guy ropes has to be loosened when you tilt the vertical down. The remaining guys help stabilize the vertical in three directions when being raised.

These Vertical Guying kits have been designed to be used with ground mounted 1/4 wavelength vertical antennas such as DX Engineering monoband and multiband verticals and the Hustler 4, 5 & 6-BTV.  The kits can also be used for other ground mounted verticals exceeding 30 feet high with four point guying at two levels on the vertical radiator. The guying kits are ideal for fixed or portable installations.

The DXE-GUY400-KIT is designed for taller verticals by providing sufficient rope for two-level guying.

Included in this kit is:

• (4) Heavy Duty DXE-EA15 15 in x 3 in. screw-in earth anchors with eyelets
• (4) 100 ft Rolls of UV resistant, 3/32 Double-Braided Dacron Polyester Rope (part number STI-DBR-94-100)
