The compensation varies depending on the guy length, but at lower
temperatures you want more tension, and at higher temperatures you want
less.
Do a Google search on "guy pulse tension calculator". You will find a
handy spreadsheet that is mainly designed to calculate pulse times for
use in the pulse method of measuring guy tensions. It can be found for
download, and there is an online fillable site. The spreadsheet will
give you the information you need after inputing temperature, guy size,
anchor distance, and guy height.
BTW the pulse method is a very good method of tension measurement IF you
are using continuous strands of EHS (not broken up with insulators).
