Thanks, Kimo for the specs The W 51 and WT 51 are def not the same animal the current WT model specs say 14 Sq Ft @ 85 Mph but the spec sheet from 1979 states 9 sq ft @ 50 mph.
I have a house bracket at 19ft at the top the first section. A set of 4 guys in X config at the top of both middle and top section at 35 and 51 feet. Any thoughts what or if this might increase with Sq Ft or wind rating of the tower? Some comments suggest adding guys will put too much compression on the tower legs or stress on the cable, my idea was to have the Dacron ropes at minimum tension just enough to minimize the tower from rocking in high winds.
