Also, a post plus deadman end is a way to geometrically shorten the 80%. Look at commercial guyed towers and they often have a shorter guy a; /archives//html/Towertalk/2018-12/msg00084.html (8,168 bytes)

Re: [TowerTalk] guying distance (score: 1): Author: Bill via TowerTalk <towertalk@contesting.com>; Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2018 17:27:34 +0000 (UTC); I too, have gone greater than 80% to allow the antennas on the rotating tower to clear the guy wires. Currently the top guys on my tower are at 84 feet and are pulled out to around 100 feet. Realize; /archives//html/Towertalk/2018-12/msg00087.html (11,196 bytes)

If you use a six way star bracket or Rohn 25-55 guy bracket the outward force is all on the bracket. Standard Rohn 65G brackets ar; /archives//html/Towertalk/2018-12/msg00089.html (8,430 bytes)
