[TowerTalk] Guying Self-Supp. Towers

[Larry Stowell]

DMXMD Medium duty towers are designed to support an antenna array up to 6
sq. ft. (.56m sq.) projected wind area.

DMXHD Heavy duty towers are designed to support an antenna array up to 9 sq.
ft. (0.84 m sq.) projected wind area.

NOTE: Guy wires must be used for larger loads or if straight sections are
added.

To me if I keep it under 9 sq. ft and not add any straight sections I don't
have to guy it.
