[TowerTalk] Tram Line Attachment

[Randy]

Is a TH6 on R25 w/2 in. mast considered large enough to back-guy ? I need to
remove one @ 95' (2' above top of pointy top) and one side mounted @ 60'.

the mast and pulling it thru itself gives you a secure attachment point that
won't slip. If it's a big load then you might want to back-guy the mast
tramline to give more support to the mast.
