The tophat is 4 x 4' radials.
> Is that the poly rope that I see guying the mast?

> What kind of an angle do the guy wires drop at?... It looks like they would
> make a great tophat if made out of wire?
Hmmmm ... measured from the mast to the rope it's probably about 40
degrees. I've thought of that before, but didn't know if it would work or

What do you guys think?
Eric
