[TowerTalk] new tower

[Rick Karlquist]

Obvious solution is 4-way guying.  The use of 4 guys reduces the
80% rule to 57%, or 96 feet.  But 4 way guying also allows you
to put the guys out at 120 feet.  So you will be in very good
shape with 4 way guying.   Imagine the stability of a 3 legged
stool vs a 4 legged stool.  Big difference.
