[TowerTalk] Guying a self-supporter

[ve4xt at mts.net]

It's Delhi, and it's because they use the same product in both their guyed and self-supporting 
applications. It simplifies production, I'd say.

Since the Delhi towers were designed to be part of a guyed installation, and since the sections could 
support a large number of sections above them (I think Delhi catalogs reference heights to 180 feet), 
adding guys to otherwise self-supporting Delhi towers should not be an issue.

I do not believe that constitutes a blanket statement that ALL self-supporting towers can accept guys, 
however.
