As far as guying it, any additional weight on the tower (e.g. weight
of the guys, tension) will also reduce the tower capacity as the limiting
factor is the leg strength so by the time you put the guys on, you might run
out of capacity.

This is true if you take a standard tapered self supporting
design and just add guys. The guying force breaks the small
sections at the top. But with guys, there is no need to
taper the tower. So what I am doing is using only large
sections.
