[UK-CONTEST] Tower Guying

[Roger Thawley]

Seems to me that the logical approach would be to weld some 'proper' anchor
points to the tower, just like those factory fitted by Strumech.

The local 'works' club of which I was a member had a 60ft Versa tower 
carrying a TB3, 2 & 70 cm Yagis, it was professionally erected
& from memory had guys at three levels, it was permanently left at full 
height

Don't all of these tower section have open ended tubes? If that's the 
case then guys could be attached to bolt
inserted into the open end (the bolt needs to be of a size so that the 
head won't fall into the tube).

73...
