After living in a state (FL) that resembles a table top, I am now facing  the 
same sort of problem.
 
I am going to tackle it as though all three anchors are entering the ground  
at a point 80 feet from the base.  The actual points of entry will be  either 
further away (if going downhill) or closer (if going uphill).  I  think the 
way to handle this is to be sure all three guy wires attach to the  tower at the 
same angle...or at least pretty darn close. IMHO as long as  the relative 
differences are not too big, adjusting the distance from  the tower to 
accommodate the terrain accomplishes this.
 
Now back out to sanding and painting the Rohn 65 that is going to be used  
for the project.
