A buried anchor per Rohn specs is an obvious answer.
If you want to elevate the guys a little (preferably less than 6 ft to
minimize
the moment arm) I-beams have the greatest strength/weight. Orient the
center of the I-beam in line with the guy wires. You can cut the end at
an
angle to facilitate attaching turnbuckles.
I like to use two anchors per direction on my tall towers, but then I
just use
screw anchors. A LARGE I-beam with LOTS of concrete should hold all 4.
