I am putting up a 50 foot Rohn 25G tower and want to guy the tower to a
chimney in two of the three guy points.  Does anyone have any experience with
guying to chimneys?  Each chimney is 3' by 2 1/2' and in excellent condition. 
What thickness of strap should be used around the chimney?  Each would have
two guys attached according to the Rohn catalog - each guy with an initial
tension of 400#.   Also what is the best way to measure the tension of the guy
wire? Thanks in advance.
