Just curious,

Is the base size different for guyed/unguyed use? Just  wondering. Never  
done 
a guyed tower  before..

Yes, bases for unguyed towers are almost always substantially bigger than a  
corresponding guyed tower.  Reason:  Overturning momentum caused by  wind is 
compensated for by the guys.  In an unguyed tower, the base must do  all the 
work.
