I am wanting to use elevated guy anchors in my installation of some Rohn
45. (70 ft). 
First question: What has been used succesfully and unsuccessfully by
Towertalkians?
Second Question: Am considering guying 4 directions instead of 3, to make
things a little easier when leveling(using a transit).
is there a special bracket made to get 4 guys on a 3 sided tower?
Third question:If guying 4 directions does that put a dangerously increased
amount of verticle load on the tower? i.e. should I drop the 4 guy idea and
just go with 3 like Rohn says. Yes I know I have also heard the K7LXC
Golden Rule, but if I can make things easier on myself by all means I want
to do it.

A Keyring, what a handy gadget. It allows me to lose all of my keys at one
time.
