Hi Douglas,
Maybe you can study using a single set of guy wires that are as step up
in size or diameter than recommended (oversized). That might give you peace
of mind you are looking for with the neighbor, and open up the lower space
on your tower for another antenna option. On my tower, I went to 3/8" guy
wire when 5/16" was recommended.

QSL John,
Yes, i know Rohn suggest one set of guy cables up to 50 ft but in my case, i
have few neigbour very close of my QTH and my anchors points are 60 % of
total height...i know 70 % is the correct distance.
I prefer over design to avoid any future problem.
I can use my 1/4" EHS galvanized cable with clamps for lower guys and solid
steel with egg insulators for higher guys.

Do you really need two sets of guy cables on a 30 foot tower? Lower guys
may not need to be broken up.

Hi guys,
I read about resonant guy wires.
Unfortunately i can´t add egg insulator to build non resonant guy wires. I
don´t have enought clamps or guy grip (preform) to install egg insulators.
Maybe someone know any other solution.
I have been modeling my tower on MMANA and i don´t see any interaction with
my HD spiderbeam for 10, 15 and 20m.
My guy wires lengths are: 20 ft (the 1st level ) and 30 ft (the 2nd level).
any tips are welcome.
73....Douglas, CO8DM
