[TowerTalk] Complex Guying Question

[K7LXC at aol.com]

Howdy, TowerTalkians --
 
    The tower under discussion is Rohn 25G so my answer  to tension the top 
set of HPTG6700 to 670 pounds might be a little aggressive.  It might be a 
good idea to tension it like the 3/16" EHS at 400#. I don't think  there'll 
be enough slack at that less tension to be of any concern - and  it'll 
decrease the compression on the legs. Better to err on the conservative  side of 
things. Doesn't sound like it'll ever fall down due to guy  failure - hi. 
 
Cheers,
