Why can't it be guyed to help stabilize it? Even three ways at the
top with dacron or kevlar to some deep earth screws is better than
nothing, especially if you use cheap leg insulators. Most leg
insulators will not hold much free standing steel in high wind
especially if you wind up needing a top hat. If your vertical is
out in the open on flat land and you have a wind storm, it will
destroy plastic leg insulators and the ceramic ones hams find aren't
made for this. Not sure about the fiberglass cylinders that fit
inside the legs. Maybe they are more robust.
Happy New Year
