My apologies to all. I did not realize that the Tower Talk reflector does not forward e-mail attachments. I will see if I can find a work around for this problem.

Towertalkians, 

We are planning to erect a tower for our club's DSTAR repeater antenna. This tower will consist three ten foot Rohn 45G tower sections on the flat roof of a multistory building. The problem we have is that two of the three guy anchor points are under an adjacent structure roof overhang and will not allow us to guy the tower at or near the top. One of our club members has proposed a novel idea for deviating the guys around the roof overhang - please see the diagram below. Has anyone ever tried something like this before? Does this look like a good idea or not? 

Please note that this diagram is not to scale.
