[BC] Tower guy wire coating

[Kent Winrich]

Hardening on guy lines = no flex = bad (IMHO)

I heard that the flexing of guy lines causes friction, and therefore 
heat, and is a major contributer of global warming..... right behind 
(pun intended) cow gas.

Apparently this is some sort of petroleum product, similar to heavy 
motor oil, that is applied to the wires and hardens.  Supposedly it 
prevents corrosion, premature guy failure, hair loss, IRS 
audits...well, you know.
