Jeremy,
>From you photographs, it appears to be Rohn 45 tower, with a pier pin base

There are three safety issues with the guying material shown in the photo:
1. The rusty guy wire has reached the end of its safe life.
2. The three screw-in anchors are much too small for safe use on that tower.
I'm amazed that the tower didn't fall over!
3. Thimbles were not used with the guy grips, as a result the grips have
deformed to an unsafe small diameter. When you replace the guy grips, be sure
you purchase the proper heavy duty thimbles.
