[TowerTalk] Tower Guy Calculations

[Wes]

I had a Tristao tower here for many years.  It was six, 10-foot sections and 
used formed stops to support the sections.  I never had the whole thing up, but 
I did use the bottom three sections, unguyed, to support a two-meter EME array 
for some time at a former QTH.  I figured I would never get it permitted here, 
so it laid in the yard for years until I gave it to a neighbor.

> The tower you described sounds like an old Tri-Ex or Tristao. You cranked up and set stops under each section, lowered sections onto the stops and then set the guy cables. Some of these tower would raise the top section first, set the stops in place and then crank up each additional sections then guy.
