[TowerTalk] Can't guy at normal 120 degree spots????

[K3GM]

Hi Joe,

I had the exact problem you speak of at a former QTH.  I had a hinged base 
plate and wanted to be able to walk up 40 feet of unloaded tower.  The 
problem was when the hinged base plate was oriented correctly, it was not 
possible to have guy points which were in line with the legs due to 
structure interference and lot limitations.   To solve this, I fabricated a 
triangular shaped device out of stout galvanized C channel which mounted the 
the tower legs using heavy U-bolts.  This allowed guying on the "sides" of 
the tower instead of the corners, and it worked amazing well until I 
dismantled everything for a move.  If you'd like, e-mail me off the 
reflector, and I'd be happy to send you a couple of pix.

7 3,
Tom Hybiske, K3GM
