[TowerTalk] Effects of less than 80% guying

[Sean McCarthy]

Hello all,

My lot (105' x 310') will accommodate up to 80' of tower guyed at 80% 
"by the book". What compensation would I have to make if I were to 
sneak it up to 90 or 100' (72 and 65%) ? Would the extra 10 or 20 
feet be worth it?

The tower will be 25G with a TH7 at the apex and 40-2CD 12' above.

I'd like to assemble this, antennas and all, on the ground and set it 
in place with a crane. What base configuration would you recommend? 
(pin, hinged plate, etc.)

Thanks,
Sean
