After much experimenting, I have learned something about the oscillation
problem:
1. The worst design is a uniform diameter vertical guyed at equal
intervals. This is somewhat obvious from physics.
2. Tapering the diameters is very helpful.
3. For really flimsy verticals, I guy every 15 feet
4. Oscillation may not cause immediate failures, but instead
the cumulative effects of fatigue will eventually reach the breaking
point.
