[Elecraft] Turnbuckle Threads

[George]

All,
In 1998 we replaced a 1955 1,000' Stainless Tower. It was located in 
Lantana, Florida - probably 15 miles of so from the Atlantic Ocean.
We did paint the tower often but never did any maintenance on the guy wire 
hardware.
The tower used galvanized hardware. The hardware on the tower and guy wires 
were original.
Our tower maintenance company did use a penetration lubricate before they 
adjusted guy tensions.
We had the tensions checked during the annual inspection; But only adjusted 
a couple times in the 35 years I was there.
