> Assuming one had a crank up tower made out of three 20 foot sections
(nominally 50-55 feet fully extended), why would guying the bottom 20 foot
piece of the tower be a bad thing?? It would seem to an under-educated
mind
that it would strengthen the tower.
Methinks that guying the bottom section does little to nothing to
"strengthen" the tower since the failure mode is one of the higher sections
when it's extended. I've never seen a crank-up that failed at the base with
all of the extended sections undamaged. A nested tower doesn't need
additional strength.
