I am worried !

You have erected a tower without guys. 

You are now asking a friend to climb this tower, without guys, so that he
can fix guy ropes to it ??

Hey guys *FINALLY* got my first tower since licensed 1965 in the air and it
sure looks pretty standing tall and proud as I drive up
to the QTH, I know this sounds strange, but I had to drive up to the house a
couple of extra times just to look at it again Hi Hi 

Cant believe I am looking at mine and not someone else's Hi Hi

Now I am looking for anyone who may have in excess to their needs some guy
wire for the prettiest Rohn 25 tower in Texas. I have it
up at 30 feet. 

I have already priced what else I need and after buying the concrete and
all, retail pricing is more than I can do right now, so
looking for a good deal from someone who has some laying around and is
willing to part with it.

3/16 or 1/4 guy wire should be fine I am guessing.

 I am guessing to guy it at the 25 foot level I need a set of three at about
50 feet length each, if this is overkill please let me
know, I also need the associated hardware, brackets ect. I am not using the
Rohn Guying bracket since a Ham told me I didn't need to
spend that kind of money for a guy bracket, just tie it to the leg of the
tower.

The guy who will climb the tower (using his harness and his GinPole to mount
the three element tribander) next weekend said he
wanted me to use two cable clamps at each end of each guy wire, so I need 12
of those.

Any advice would be appreciated.
