I did a pretty good search for the specs Rohn might give on the angle
between adjacent guys and could not find anything specific.  I did find the
angle expressed as the following, however:  "120 degrees, 0 minutes, 0
seconds" right on the pages that show the various guy configuartions vs
tower height that we have all looked at.  The obvious implication is that it
needs to be very close to 120 degrees to be in compliance with Rohn's
recommendations.  I would say if you have to go more than a couple of
degrees from 120, you should consult a professional engineer about it.
