i'm about to put up a used aluma 40' crank-up tower (2 sections). normally,
this tower is to be used mounted to a structure around 8 to 10 feet up. i'm
going to be installing it in a field and plan to guy it at 10 feet and at
the top of the bottom 20 foot section--so it'll be guyed at 10' and 20'.
in a normal installation there are no guys to the tower.
i'll be mounting a KLM KT34A on it.
my questions are:
1. does my guying arrangement sound reasonable?
2. should i also guy from the top (~37 feet) of the top section?
this is the first time i've put up a tower so any comments are appreciated.
thanks,
kenb, n5lpi
