[TowerTalk] Temporary guys ???

[Douglas Ruz (CO8DM)]

Hi,
 
I just started installing the tower...it is Rohn 25G clone.

I have a buried base...about 3 ft deep in concrete 2 x 2 ft.

I add the 2nd section and i add temporary guy ropes. I am using Paracord 550 ropes...single paracord ropes is 4mm diameter and handle up to 550 pounds, it strech a little, so i used 3 ropes per guy (12mm diameter and more pounds to handle)...3 + 3 + 3...

Do you think it is OK to climb and add the 3rd section with permanent guys?

A gin pole is not available, so we are TWO hams climbing the tower. 

Thoughts ??

Thanks,

73....Douglas, CO8DM
