Interesting question, because the catenary guys are a "spring" so the
tower MUST deflect in the wind.
A presentation by KE1IH at Dayton (5/20/05) shows a few inches
deflection along the tower between guy points. Another of his models
(80 ft Rohn25 with a 40-2CD and TH6DXX shows 12" displacement at the top
of the tower and 61" displacement at the top of the mast.
