Why do you think they should  be any different? The angles should be the same regardless of the length, no? Otherwise the preload would need to be different on each guy to exert a consistent downward force.

Hi All,

I'm putting a tower in a field at my QTH, and the field is terraced a bit.
One guy anchor will be at the same level as the base, and one about three feet above that level and another about three feet below.

The tower is 80' of Rohn 55G, and I'll be guying at 80' and 40'.  For the anchor at the same level as the base, I'll go out 80% - ~64'.  What do I do for the uphill and downhill anchors?

Eventually I may have a side-mounted TH7 at the 40' level, FWIW.

73 de Lee, AA4GA
