    I can fax you the formulas out of the TIA-222 but will refrain from 
trying to put them in an email.

    Why don't you just use a Loos PT-3? It'll do guys from 9/32" to 3/8" 
which should do your 5/16" guywires FB and is much more precise than using 
the pulse method (which is much better for real long and real big guy 
cables). The Loos is available from http://www.championradio.com.
