The guy specifications are the manufacture's recommendation. Certainly many
other configurations are possible with proper engineering. I had a 70 foot
tower in Aruba for a decade and two the elevated anchors were only 35 feet
from the base. How far out can you install your anchors?

I am planning to put up 130 ft. of Rohn 25 to be used as a 160 meter
vertical. There will be no antennas on this tower. The Rohn spec for guy
anchor points is 80% or 104 ft.
I am looking for some guidance. Getting 3 guy points each at 104 ft. from
the tower is going to be challenging due to terrain and property lines. Are
there any guidelines for anchor placement for a tower that does not have to
be subjected to additional loading from an antenna?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
