[TowerTalk] Tower orientation re wind

[WA9ALS - John]

For towers that have 3 guys, do you give any consideration to the direction 
of the predominant winds?  For example, awould you try to orient the tower 
so that the "2-guys" are into the wind??  I'm planning a 70 ft Glen Martin 
- It will be assembled on the ground, then tilted/pulled into position.  I 
might have to orient the base such that I can get a rope from the tower 
toward the nearest tree to aid getting it upright.  If I end up NOT having 
to do it this way, are there any theories affecting the orientation?
