Question - What does the manufacturer say about using 4-way guying? What
kind of tower is it?
In all cases, follow the LXC Prime Directive to "DO what the manufacturer
says".
Slopers and inverted vees are not precise. You won't be able to see any
difference between having antennas every 90 degrees or 120 degrees.
