Default Isolation of guy wires

Has anyone thought of trying to use some of the ferrite beads to isolate the
guy wires of a tower for RF so the tower could be shunt fed ? Along the same
lines could the beads be used to electrically brake up the wires into non
resonate lengths ?


It would require multiple beads at each point, and at multiple points.
While it could be made to work, it would be heavy and expensive. That's
why egg insulators or non-conductive guys are used instead.
