[TowerTalk] Guy alignment - friendly wager

[Bill Aycock]

I used a modified string system, partly because I wanted to try a new toy-
a water hose leveling system, and partly because my ground slopes.

I made a string set up with a hook on one end and a loop on the other-
hooked the line to a leg and drove a grounding rod ( just a short distance)
in the loop. Did this four times, eyeballed as Steve mentioned.  Note- this
was for a fold-over tower, that (per Rohn specs) uses FOUR guys. I made a
string gadget that had four equal legs to make sure it was a square  I Used
the level to mark a spot on each ground rod level with a spot on the tower. 
Then I pulled the guy tight so it passed the mark on the rod and marked the
spot on the ground where I wanted the anchor to enter.  It seems to have
worked.
