HF Vertical Antenna Rope Guying Kits
DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Guying Kits
Some vertical antenna manufacturers indicate that their antennas do not need guying. During times of high winds or ice loading, however, some of these vertical antennas may sustain damage or fail altogether. With the small amount of effort needed to install one of these DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Guying Kits, the risk hardly seems worth taking. They feature a 4-point guying scheme that provides the best mechanical advantage to prevent wind stress, regardless of direction. The guying is intended for stability only and should never be depended on for primary support. DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Guying Kits are especially recommended for use with DX Engineering tilt bases, because just one of the guy ropes has to be loosened when you tilt the vertical down. The remaining guys help to stabilize the vertical in three directions when being raised. These kits have been designed to be used with ground-mounted quarter-wavelength vertical antennas, such as DX Engineering monoband and multiband verticals and the Hustler 4, 5, and 6-BTV models. Using the DX Engineering vertical antenna guying kits, you can install four guy ropes approximately halfway up the vertical antenna system to ground level and angled at approximately 45 degrees. Guying should be tightened just enough to permit the antenna to swing a few inches. The ends of the ropes are tied to the earth anchors that are screwed into the ground at about the same angle as the ropes. Tie the other ends of the ropes to the vertical antenna just above one of the antenna element clamps or traps (a guying ring is not required). Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. The DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Guying Kits are available in different lengths to fit your varying vertical antenna needs.

DX Engineering Ground Stakes
DX Engineering Ground Stakes are used to tie down light-duty ropes of wire antennas and vertical antenna rope guys. Of course, they can be used as tent pegs as well. Stakes are designed to be easily pushed or tapped into the earth and easily removed. They have special tabs for wrapping and securing the rope. NOTE: Color and composition of ground stakes is subject to change, so items shipped are not guaranteed to be identical to the image, but will serve the function of attaching rope to the ground for tents and antenna ropes.

Mastrant Portable Mast and Vertical Antenna Guying Kits
Mastrant Portable Mast and Vertical Antenna Guying Kits include sufficient material suitable for guying in one direction - so in practice you need 3 or 4 sets for each level (height) of guying. When choosing the number of guying levels, always adhere to the mast manufacturer's recommendations. While there isn't a universal rule, using two or more levels of guying significantly reduces the risk of accidental buckling and potential mast damage. The specifications for the sets with yellow and reflective-orange ropes are identical; the only difference is that the rope and tensioner in these reflective kits are fluorescent.
