Of course, EVERYONE on this list owns (or has access to) a copy of Steve's
fine book. Right?
When I decided I was finally going to erect a tower, the first and best
investment I made was a copy of "Up The Tower". It answered all the questions I
had, and many questions I didn't know I had.

> Separately, I have been advised that I should look at replacing the
current guys, which were installed when the tower was originally "planted'
around 1985.? They are currently guyed into trees, which has not been a
problem.? (Ground guying would be better, but that has spousal problems :)). I
do
need to do something about at least two of them (guys are at 25 and 50
feet) because the tree needs to be cut out - I am looking at putting a steel
post in the ground near that location and using that.? However it has been so
long since I did it that I do not know what the best approach is (wire of
Phillystran) and what other components I might need.? A simple tutorial
would be great, but I have not found one on the web.
There is an excellent chapter on guy wires in my UP THE TOWER book.
It's available at _www.championradio.com_ (http://www.championradio.com)
including elevated guys and Phillystran.
