I hope that everyone knows the BX series is only designed to hold a beam
with a boom of NO longer than 10 feet. Guyed or unguyed.
There have been horror stories of those who tried longer beams such as the
TH7 or KT34XA or even quads bigger than 3 elements. Longer booms stress
the bolts holding the top section so that the metal splits.
I think some of this is recalled in the towertalk archives.
