Many ways to skin that cat. I have a 120 ft Rohn 25 guyed at 30, 60, 90, 
and 120 ft with about 4 ft in a poured concrete base. I also have an 
unguyed 35 ft Rohn 35 (the one private labeled for Motorola scaled up 
from 25) also with about 5 ft in a LOT of concrete. When the second one 
was installed, my climber advised me that it was stable enough without 
guys, so we opted not to guy it. I live in an area (NorCal) where we 
don't get more than about 75 mph winds.
