[Towertalk] Calculating guy distance for rotating towers

[kr7o@vhfdx.com]

Ok, I must admit that my high school geometry/trig have not survived 
college parties, etc. but, I have a question that I don't ever remember 
seeing addressed on TT.

I am looking for a formula to determine in advance how far my guy anchors 
need to be for a side mounted antenna at any given height to clear the 
guys.  Example, a 75' rotating tower with guy wires attached at 75' and an 
antenna with a turning radius of 25' at say 60'.  I'm sure I could graph it 
out, but I would prefer to know exactly before sinking anchors (I want to 
do things once).

Thanks,
