If you have perfectly level ground and place the anchor 136' away, the beam
will clear the guy by 1'.

Subject: [Towertalk] Calculating guy distance for rotating towers
Ok, I must admit that my high school geometry/trig have not survived
college parties, etc. but, I have a question that I don't ever remember
seeing addressed on TT.
I am looking for a formula to determine in advance how far my guy anchors
need to be for a side mounted antenna at any given height to clear the
guys. Example, a 75' rotating tower with guy wires attached at 75' and an
antenna with a turning radius of 25' at say 60'. I'm sure I could graph it
out, but I would prefer to know exactly before sinking anchors (I want to
do things once).
Thanks,
