Subject: [TowerTalk] Adding insulators to bottom guys

Good morning.
I have a 100' R25 guyed with 1/4" EHS. The bottom set of guys are not
insulated. I would like to add insulators and would like some guidance. Can
I drop the bottom set without temp guys?
Any input will be greatly appreciated.

##  rohn 25 is small tower.  How many sets of guys do u have on there right now 
?? 
I would not take a chance, not using  the existing lowest guys..as temp guys. 
Like stan sez...
use the existing lowest guys as temp guys..and install the new set..with 
insulators..right below em.

##  IF u had 4 sets of guys..at 25-50-75-100.... then maybe the lowest set 
could be temp removed,
and insulators installed.   I sure would not chance it with only 3 sets of guys 
at say 33-66-99. The lowest 
portion of the tower  from either 0-50 ft..or  0-66 ft  could easily flop 
about..esp if the wind gets up. 

## safest bet is to obtain another guy bracket..and install it right below the 
lowest guy point.
