[TowerTalk] minimum guy radius

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Hi Greg, this equates to a 42.5% guy radius vs ideal 80%.
 
I have seen (and owned) a tower with 40% guying radius. It is not  
recommended but with proper engineering to calculate the lower wind load rating  it 
certainly will work.
 
Note: real engineering calcs, not an on a napkin at the bar while sipping  
Scotch analysis for this!

235'  tower with anchors at 100', three guy levels. Ever heard of such a 
thing? Is  it possible? Oversized or undersized wires? I haven't seen it, but 
it sounds  bizarre to  me.
