My question is: is this tower secure ?

The tower is 63 ft tall, triangular, steel, 1 ft wide per side, with 1 inch
vertical pipes and 1/2 inch z pipes.

There is a 10 ft mast (3 inches diameter) with a KT34XA 1 ft above the tower
end and a VHF/UHF vertical over the mast.

The guys are 6, stainless steel, 5 mm diameter.

3 guys are attached at the tower end (63 ft).
3 guys are attched at the tower mid point (32 ft).

All the guys are attached with a 120 deg aperture to three anchors about 27
ft from the tower base with tension equalizers.

There are strong winds during winter from N-W (70 mph).

Is a good idea to add ropes in that direction during winter ?

73 de Fabio, IT9GSF.
