[TowerTalk] Guy Anchor Pullout Strength

[T A RUSSELL]

"If an anchor pulls out even part way
the tower could be loose enough to fall. "

HUH?

Please explain "loose enough to fall".

I don't believe a few inches of pullout will allow a tower to fall.

W1EVT told me he decided to install insulators in one 
of his 140 ft Rohn 25 towers to make a 160M elevated GP.
They had to loosen the upper guys to where they were 
almost hanging along the tower before they could jack it up.
