I would be OK with something like 35. 70 and 105 but don't think I would want
to only have two sets on 130 feet of 25G.
I recently guyed my four square towers (80m) for first time (because of a
growing forest of pine trees). They had been up for about 8 years with only
fiberglass supports at base keeping them from falling. Witnessing 60 + mph
winds and towers leaning scared me into quickly cutting down about 25 trees and
installing one set of guys. I sleep a LOT better now.
