[TowerTalk] Guy Strain

[c penna]

Hi
I wonder there is a formula for converting guy strain at a given guy angle
WRT ground to another angle. ie if a guy has a Max strain of say 1000lbs @
60 deg angle WRT ground what would it be at 50 degrees?. I have lowered the
guy angle of my tower top guys and I'm interested to see what has happened
to the guy strain if anything. Can anyone confirm also that the maximum
strain in a guy should be 10% of the breaking strain or is that a bit too
conservative.
