Yes John,
My guy anchors are at 60 % of the 2nd level of guy wires but at 120% of the
1st level of guy wires.
That is why i am using 2 set of guy wires and also because the base is not
on the ground with a foundation.

Rohn's 80% guy radius is just a guideline. Closer spacing is possible with
proper engineering. My P40A station had close almost 50% spacing on two
sides.

QSL John,
Yes, i know Rohn suggest one set of guy cables up to 50 ft but in my case, i
have few neigbour very close of my QTH and my anchors points are 60 % of
total height...i know 70 % is the correct distance.
I prefer over design to avoid any future problem.
I can use my 1/4" EHS galvanized cable with clamps for lower guys and solid
steel with egg insulators for higher guys.

Do you really need two sets of guy cables on a 30 foot tower? Lower guys
may not need to be broken up.

Hi guys,
I read about resonant guy wires.
Unfortunately i can´t add egg insulator to build non resonant guy wires. I
don´t have enought clamps or guy grip (preform) to install egg insulators.
Maybe someone know any other solution.
I have been modeling my tower on MMANA and i don´t see any interaction with
my HD spiderbeam for 10, 15 and 20m.
My guy wires lengths are: 20 ft (the 1st level ) and 30 ft (the 2nd level).
any tips are welcome.
