[TowerTalk] Loosing guy wires when hoisting antenna

[john at kk9a.com]

I previously responded to the guy wire removal part of the question but Dan
is right about traming higher to clear the guy. It can even be done without
a tram and without removing guys. I have installed many large antennas in
the middle of a tower by having the pull rope pulley near the top of the
tower and just pulling the antenna away around the guys as it is raised.

Forget the guy wire complications.  Tram to a higher spot, say 70'
nominally, then it is relatively trivial to drop the antenna into place.
73, Dan
 

I am hoisting JK Mid Tri (100 lb) to 65' on a 100' 45G. There are 3 sets of
guy wires at 32', 62' and 95'. I am not clearing one guy at 62'. If I
remove that guy wire, should I loosen the other guy wires at 62', to avoid
potential bending?
