I know the subject line sounds dumb,, but I have 15' of mast above my tower and
live in South Florida. Read on...
Im thinking of putting a guy ring at about 12' above the top of the tower, and,
only in event of a severe storm, attach 3 guy wires, which would be anchored in
concrete, the cables sitting on the ground, affixing them to the collar in
event of storm.
I've also thought of having short guy wires permanently mounted on the guy
ring collar, with the short guy cables running down the mast to the top of the
tower. Then i could climb up and attach the guy wires, if needed. No need for
a bucket truck.
I think this would provide additional survivability to the mast in heavy wind
Any thoughts on this? Good idea, bad?
Thanks/73
