Phillystran turned that into a much better antenna.  I suspect that making sections of guy resonant on one of the bands could have some unexpected effects on other antennas on the tower. Or, it might work fine.

I'd have to dig out some old books, but didn't the ARRL Handbook have a chart of all metallic guy lengths to avoid to prevent interactions, and resonance?

Like the image on the left here:

It's been nearly thirty years since I've referenced it, I use synthetic materials now.
