I'm with you Roger, over thinkin' it is right. A good look inside one of the
older Rohn catalogs ( the REAL catalog, and not a promotional 'flyer' or
handout ) has just about as much information as you need. That was plenty
enough for me and I have never had a failure. - Mike

Tain't near that bad Bill. Just keep the angles the same and the
tensions the same.
Actually there is a lot of leeway built in and I think many over think
it by far.
Unless a tower is pushed near its limits for load and/or height there is
a lot of flexibility as to what you can get away with. <:-))
