[TowerTalk] Guy rod stress

[Mike Gilmer - N2MG]

Part of a recent thread referred to wanting the ability to change a guyed tower's height at some date after initial construction.  While a noble goal to plan ahead, I wonder what kind of added stress occurs in the guy rod if at rest it is not pointing to the approximate center of the tower?  Is it something to worry about?
