[TowerTalk] Rohn 25 guying question

[Stan Stockton]

Just my opinion.  Not an engineer.  

Not sure how far out you can go but one way to help that angle is to use elevated supports given they are strong enough.  If it were mine I would just guy it three levels at about 33/66/100 and have 30 feet of tower above the top level.
