So far, it's looks good.  My only real concern is the skirt wires which 
drape down direct from a Crosley clamp on the horizontal runs.  That's a 
weak point sure to break as the cable moves in the wind over time.

It's need a secondary support to remove the wire's weight AND and bending 
stress away from the clamp and spread it across a longer section of wire or 
thimble and grip which bears the weight.

But it otherwise looks like a decent install to me so far.
