Most significant difference from a ‘normal’
Install is the guy anchor distance from tower base
So that hf Yafo’s have boom and yagi clearance
From the guy wires as they turn
There is an Excellent excel
Spreadsheet tool
Created by Hal somebody
I have the creator’s call at home
Email me for a link to it

But an example is my 130 foot install
With six yagi s
The anchors are 170 feet from the base
