Different ways apply for fastening
guys to a mast or to antenna elements. The common way is to drill
holes in the tips. It, undoubtedly, results to easing of rigidity
of towers and antennas both. At the same
time it is possible to apply "sparing" method of fastening
of guys.

Takes a kapron cord. From this one do loops
for fastening guys, as it is shown at Figure

threads.
Here we do attach a binding cord as it is shown in Figure 2.

Further, using cordlike binding,
we adhere loops to a tube as it is shown in

At the figures are designated: L - Loop
for fastening, B - Beginning of binding cord, End- End of binding ord, HL- Helping Loop.

After
the ending of binding we pass the end
of binding cord in Helping Loop and strongly pull for the beginning
of binding cord. After that do melt of the Beginning and the End
the binding rope, and that is all.
