That's correct...it goes down to a point.  The guys are very old and 
sagging.  One unique thing is that the tower was rigged for power levels up 
to a megawatt!  It has multiple insulators at the tower connection.  Also, 
there are only 6 guy wires; 3 at 1/3 height (approx) and 3 more about 2/3 
height (approx).

I am no way connected to or part of KFI or the contractor hired to do the 
job.  Just an observer from a safe distance!
