[TowerTalk] guying distance

[Courtney Judd]

There is a commercial tower not far from me that has been up for many 
years.... an old AM unit now with some cell antennas on it. I marvel at 
it ever time I drive by wondering how it has stayed up this long. It is 
150 ft tall with the guy wire  ground spots at 50 ft from the tower.... 
defies all logic but somebody way back when thought it was a good idea 
and so far so good! lol 73's Cort K4WI
