I meant to reply to this thread sooner. I have been studying the subject
again as I prepare to stack up some 25G. Rohn drawing A810214R6 is titled
"Foundation and Anchor Tolerances," has the following tolerances for guyed
towers:

------------------------------------
Guy Radius:	 plus or minus 5% of distance specified

Anchor Alignment (perpendicular to guy radius):	 0.1 degrees

Anchor Rod Alignment with guy radius: 	plus or minus 1.0 degree
-----------------------------------

Doesn't seem like they leave much room for fudging. I just eyeball things
and measure the best I can and luckily, I have pretty level ground to work
with.

All the best,

Matt--K7BG

P.S. There are many other tolerance factors listed in the above mentioned
Rohn drawing.
