Kevin,
Thank you for summarizing your replies. I found a few ideas that would be 
useful for me. I have the GM 70 foot tower with hazer. It works quite well. 
My only concern is that I may be locked into being unable to stack antennas 
in the future. I have not figured out how to stack antennas and still be 
able to lower the hazer. One idea that I have found useful is to color code 
the guys with colored tape and spray painted the anchors a matching color so 
that they quickly can be returned to the correct anchor. I use 6 guys which 
can take a bit to sort out when in a hurry.. I usually do not replace the 
guys after the hazer is lowered until after the work is complete. One 
intriguing idea for was the mention of the fork type turnbuckles. The 
hardest part of the job for me is unscrewing the turnbuckles and then 
replacing. Any idea where this type turnbuckle can be obtained??
