I am hoisting JK Mid Tri (100 lb) to 65' on a 100' 45G. There are 3 sets of guy wires at 32', 62' and 95'. I am not clearing one guy at 62'. If I remove that guy wire, should I loosen the other guy w

I would advise against loosening the other guy wires. What I would suggest you consider is what I have done at my qth: 1) Prepare a temporary guy of the same approximate length as the permanent guy.

I previously responded to the guy wire removal part of the question but Dan is right about traming higher to clear the guy. It can even be done without a tram and without removing guys. I have instal

Hi John and Dan, Tram's are useful and preferred and I have used them wherever possible; however, in heavily forested areas away from paved roads or driveways, and especially with ledge and highly un

The method I've used several times, including a Mid-Tri (without 40 meters), was to remove the elements after fit and measurement check, raise the boom parallel to the tower, and install the elements

Thank you all for the very useful comments. In the end, I moved the hoist point from 80' to 95', and the antenna cleared the guys. My wife helped (grudgingly but effectively) looking at the antenna a
