Guying...
OK - I was on a hilltop with a 700' face that always had hefty venturi
wind... It ate every rotator or antenna I put up, so I am probably biased to
conservatism. To me, 2 sets of guys for a 70 or 80 foot tower with that much
antenna sound like trouble. Mine was 90 feet with 3 1/4" EHS guys - based
out at 80

According to the Rohn book, guying at 35 and 70 ft is recommended in zone
C...110 MPH.
