Hi,
        If you're reading this on Christmas Eve, don't get caught :-)
        I'm investigating a used Rohn foldover as a first tower and haven't 
yet gathered many details about it beyond the description in the Texas Towers
catalog. But as I prepare to get my hands on the proper written resources 
and contact the local experts I find myself returning to a basic question that
I need to ask the reflector members: how is the thing guyed? How can a 
foldover tower be double guyed as the catalog blurb mentions, yet still 
fold over? The guy sets couldn't both be below the hinge point, surely, so I
wonder what the trick is for handling this?

Regards,
Pete
