[TowerTalk] Guying Lengths Revisited

[jknodel M Knodel]

Greetings all,

Thank you to all those that have answered my previous tower questions.  My 
project is still in the works and I have yet another question...

Do you think it would be feasible to guy a Rohn 25 tower at less than the 
specified 80% and still have it be a "safe" installation?

I would like to put up 60' and guy it at about 60% (36') or even 50' and guy 
it at 72% (36').  I could guy a 40' tower to the full 80% but of course, 
would like to go higher with limited space for guys.  I plan to install a 3L 
SteppIR and dipoles that would put the tower at about it's limit for wind 
load according to the Rohn charts.  I could sacrifice some of the windload 
for added height though if needed.  Any thoughts or help would definitely be 
appreciated.  Thanks.
