Hi Jeff,Sorry, my mistake, you are right. My statement should have been phrased
differently.
The tower deflection is least when the wind is in line with a set of guys. The
tower deflection is greatest when the wind is exactly between two sets.
The guy tension is greater when the wind is in line with 1 set and least when
between 2 sets.
