[TowerTalk] guyed tower reference?

For 90 and 130 ft towers, I put my first anchor at 60 ft with
guys at 30 and 60 ft.  This gives me a 20 ft turning radius
at the 40 ft level which is where I like to place my lower antennas.
The second anchor is placed 90 to 95 ft out which gives me
a 30 ft radius at the 90 ft level.
