[TowerTalk] Guying a TX-472 bottom section

[K7LXC at aol.com]

>  I'm looking for someone who has guyed the bottom section  of a TX-472.? 
I need a guy bracket and the Rohn standard bracket wouldn't fit.?  I want to 
hear from those who has guyed the same or similar tower.? 
 
    And the purpose of this guying is...?  
 
    What does the factory say about guying the bottom  section? I don't 
think they do. Unless there's some compelling reason to do so (  and I can't 
think of any), guying the bottom section is unnecessary. The tower  is 
designed to be free-standing. If the factory doesn't say to do it, don't do  it. 
 
    The LXC Prime Directive is to "DO what the  manufacturer says." The 
opposite is also true - "DON'T do what they don't tell  you."
