A week ago I finished installing my new custom torque arm guy bracket on the 
tower. I use 1/4" EHS wire rope for all guys. Recommended guy tension for a 
standard single guy wire is 600 pounds [10% of breaking strength]. When using a 
TA45 with two guys going down to each anchor, should each guy be adjusted to 
the same tension as used for a single guy wire, or something else?

Thanks and HNY,
