Thanks to all...........! Best idea was to use Egg insulators at the 
trap points and hang the traps underneath. I've tried that before but 
always attempted to complicate it with u-bolts and other clamping 
devices. This time I'll treat the stranded copper clad like TV guy wire 
and wrap it around itself then clamp or solder it. This is just for 
safety anyway. The tower is a shorty (TMM433SS) thats bolted to 1 cubic 
yard of rebarred concrete (had a 54 ft guyed tower before) I've added a 
guy set to the top of the 2nd section. The reinforced dipole at the top 
of the 4th would give a little more piece of mind, we get 70 mph winds 
through here occasionally. Oh, there is a Mosley TA-33 on top of the 
tower. Again thanks to all. Ron.
