As you may remember from earlier conversations I'm erecting a 100' self 
supporting tower but am going to guy in two places basically for the safety of the 
climbers, to make sure it would not fall across pwr lines, ensure it would 
land on my neighbors property, and my own peace of mind.
Hi, Mark --

    Don't screw up. DO NOT guy it. Your reasons are not valid or 
substantiated by engineering considerations or calculations.
