I have been following the exchanges about the shunt-fed, relatively short,
towers on 160 and 80. At the expense of looking ignorant- I would like a
question answered (about these particular set-ups).

what are you using for guy support?

My tower is a 48 ft fold-over, with an ATB34 tribander at about 51 ft..
Total to top of mast is about 55 ft.  At present- the guys are plain old
3/16 EHS,  four at two levels, strictly  as Rohn says for the fold-over.

I have PLENTY of room for radials.

Recommendations?

Thanks-
