[TowerTalk] Guying on a small lot

[Jon M. Knodel]

I don't know if this question has been brought up on the reflector or not, but here it is:

I have a small lot (73' x 122') and want to install a 60' Rohn 25G.  Because of how the house is set and other structures, I am having problems placing the tower where I can get the specified 80% guy length (48').  I am pretty close to getting it but come up just short on two of the legs.  On the third one I can get 48' without any trouble.  On the other two, I am about 4' short (73% instead of 80%).  

I definitely plan on constructing and loading the tower to Rohn guidelines and would like to know if this would be a problem.  Would it be possible to add 2 additional guys to each leg off center of the normal guy placement at equal angles in order to supplement it at it's slightly shorter length?  Does anyone know of any books, reports or other information where I can find the necessary equations to perform the calculations?  Thanks for the help.

73 es gud DX,
