In recent years, I have seen the suggestion that using the torque arms

through the tower bracing or legs. I could imagine this happening over a
period of years as the twisting of the tower causes abrasion of the
tower by the guy wire. I have never heard of this actually happening.
Another Olde Wife's Tale for sure - hi.
I've never seen evidence of that either. But if WERE a possibility, one
could avoid it by using the torque arm bracket (without the torque arms)
as an landing structure for the guy wires.
