the "TREE" guy anchor is no where in any ROHN installation book I am aware
of. With that said. YES we hams do some unorthodox things.
I my self have two 100' lay over Rohn towers , will not find a " Rohn falling
Deric design" in any book. As for tree guy anchor points.
When Our club had it's 2 meter repeater it was 120' of Rohn 25 guyed to THREE
36 " diameter oak trees/ the guy point was 100' out and 7 foot up from the
ground.
They drilled a through hole and used a threaded power line guy anchor . and
on the back side a 4" square plate and two nut's one to tighten and one to lock.
lasted 30 plus yeas till a cell tower site replaced it !!! Only problem
was at the end the tree was getting close to the 4 way equalizer plate
eye/bolt 1/2 left ,soon minimizing any movement .
YMMV
