It is easier to just use tape measures simulateously
to triangulate. This avoids drawing arcs on the ground. For example,
mark the first guy point at the correct radius and arbitrary angle,
then pull one tape measure from the guy point and another from the
tower center. Move them around until they cross each other so that
the one from the tower center is the correct radius and the other
reads twice as much. That is the next guy point.
