[Elecraft] Where to guy

[Vic, K2VCO]

I would like to thank everyone for their advice on guying my R8 antenna. 
I think I am going to use two sets of guys because, as several people 
pointed out, the angle will be somewhat steep and downward pressure will 
tend to make the antenna buckle. I will be using either nylon or dacron 
because they are UV-resistant. The wind is not too strong here, but I 
don't want to take any chances on top of a 10-story building!

No, they will not be rocket proof, but due to their minimal thickness, 
the chance of a rocket hitting one will be pretty small.
