[TowerTalk] Guy Wire distance

[David Robbins K1TTT]

More details please... specifically you need to specify the tower
manufacturer, tower type, planned antenna load, and wind load zone.

The best thing you can do is to get the plans from either the tower
manufacturer or a professional engineer who designs such things.  This
may be required for permits anyway.
