[TowerTalk] Tower Guying

[Brian Sarkisian]

This summer I will be starting my first real antenna tower project.

The question is abt guy wire "What size to use"

I see Rohn models Rohn 25 and 45 with 3/16" and 1/4" guy cable.

My plans.....

100' Rohn 45  with 4 element KLM 40   using 4 sets of guys
100' Rohn 25  with 4 element 30 fullsize   using 4 sets of guys
100' Rohn 25  with 2 element 10-20 quad   using 4 sets of guys

Is 3/16" ok or should I use 1/4" ?
