I would say 80% of the tower height where the highest guy for that anchor point
will be attached. I.E. for 25g guyed at 30 and 60 feet put the anchor point at
48
feet, for 90 and 120 foot level guys put the second guy anchor point at 96 feet.
If you plan on stacking yagi's be sure you leave enough room between the tower
and
the guys for rotating. You may end up using a higher number than 80%.
