Cable and turnbuckles

[trumpets3u]

Where are you all buying cable I will need 5/16 and what size turnbuckles are you using? I will be having a 100' tower.

               Thanks Brian

100. foot tall tower?
     
5. /16" cable?
   
   

Something doesn't sound right here.  

It's rare to hear about towers any taller than 60 feet on this forum.

Could you tell a little bit more about the project?

The higher the better. The wind will be better and to get 30' above the tree line.

Yeah i am around 80ft with 5/16 cable on the top 2 sets. if i had it to do again after today i may go to 3/8 on the top one only. that baby sure does move around when she is cranking out 2500 watts or more.

100 ft will be up there i would make sure the cable sizes are correct. i couldn't gleen much info here i think most are reluctant to make recommendations. I had a buddy that is a structural engineer look it over and he said my top cable should be 3/8 and my turnbuckles are to small. i think i used 1/2 turnbuckles so he said to safety cable them?

I was thinking about 3/8 cable for the top, at $210 for a 500 foot roll just a little more in cost. The turnbuckles will be a lot more but I don't want it coming down.
