It's Delhi, and it's because they use the same product in both their guyed and
self-supporting
applications. It simplifies production, I'd say.
Since the Delhi towers were designed to be part of a guyed installation, and
since the sections could
support a large number of sections above them (I think Delhi catalogs reference
heights to 180 feet),
adding guys to otherwise self-supporting Delhi towers should not be an issue.
I do not believe that constitutes a blanket statement that ALL self-supporting
towers can accept guys,
however.
