Tom- Rohn uses 4 point guying on their fold-over towers. The details are
shown in the Rohn Catalog, which has LOTS of other important information.
The catalog is available from Champion Radio (Steve), who is a frequent
presence on this reflector.

Basically, they violate their 70% rule, or, rather, apply it to the lower
guys only, which , in the 48' fold-over, puts the lower guys 18' out and
22.5 ft up. Two of the guys are looped around legs on a side, and the other
two fasten to attachments at the third leg, on the hinge fixture.

Hope this helps
