Good Grief - please don't skimp on safety - someone could get killed or you 
could be sued if this thing came down.  Do it right.

I recently purchased a used, light duty 40 ft aluminum tower.  My plans are 
to wall bracket it to my house at the 8 ft level and guy it. A flat base 
will be anchored to the cement patio.  The only load it will bear will be a 
10 ft mast with a 5 ft cross bar at the top (forming a "T") with pulleys and 
ropes to hoist various wire antennas.  Since the load is light and I'm 
trying to do this project on the cheap, is there a less expensive 
alternative to Phillystran for the guying that will do the job? 
Recommendations, including a good place to buy it, would be appreciated.

73,
