	I have always felt safe up to 30 ft above the last set of guys
	on Rohn 25.  This assumes GOOD guys at all levels (3/16 EHS).
	I have seen people go 40 ft above the guys, but it gets a little
	"wobbly" for me!  (Rohn recommends a maximum guy spacing
	of 35 ft for moderate wind zones).  Temporary guys using 
	non-stretch or low stretch rope is not a bad idea, especially
	before the first set of guys are attached or if you don't like
riding
	Pogo sticks.
