Another way to go is to use four (4) guy wires instead like what I did.
Most important is that it is no longer so important to get the guys evenly
spaced, which may help "planting" the guy anchors.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Rohn 25 guying question
Just my opinion. Not an engineer.
Not sure how far out you can go but one way to help that angle is to use
elevated supports given they are strong enough. If it were mine I would just
guy it three levels at about 33/66/100 and have 30 feet of tower above the top
level.
