That would be my last choice. Especially when you have a tram line attached
6 feet above the top of the tower stretching 100+ feet out.

It's not a problem at all if you just drop two of the top guys when
installing the antenna.

I agree. Having the guys on the top plate is a real pain. My first Rohn 25
was like that. It was very frustrating installing a beam with a tram system.
Install a guy ring 4-5 feet down the tower.

Yes I believe that they can be used to secure the guys. I chose not to do
this since it is already cluttered up there and having the guys attached to
the top plate makes working on the antennas more difficult.
The angled down guy anchor points on the top plate made a good point to
secure the coax loop though.
I mounted my top guys several feet below the top plate.
