Looking for a recommendation re guying an 80 ft Universal Aluminum  
self-supporting tower. It is comprised on 30, 26, 26, 22, 22, 18, 18, and 14 
inch sections. Currently a TH6DX is on top. I have a TH11 to replace the TH6 
and I also want to add a 2 el short
  Forty. That will overload the current tower so guys are necessary.
   
  The usual recommendation is to guy out 80% of the tower height. However, I 
have some property limitations that make doing that very difficult. Given that 
it is a 
  self-supporting tower, can I come in a bit, say 70% of height and still get 
guying advantages? 
   
  I also wonder about the possibility of guying to the bases of some very big, 
strong
  trees at the perimeter of my property. Any suggestions?
   
  73, Dennis W0JX
