The key consideration is that the vector sum of the horizontal forces
on the tower from the guys is zero, so one will end up with unequal
tension in the guys. The use of a tension gauge such as the one
Champion Radio sells is highly advised. In an extreme case, the size
of the guys may need to be increased, but it would be better to avoid
too great a deviation from 120 degree spacing.
