Dear Group,
With all the wind that we have been having here in Illinois, I've decided
to put a set of guy wires on my tower.  Its only 40 ft high, and I have
two beams on top.  I work 10 through 40 meters.  Here is my question? 
Using only one set of guy wires, what would be the proper spacing of the
insolators?  I was told that ARRL has a guide that deals with this
subject, but I can't find it.  A fellow ham told me that just so the
insolators are not at the 33 ft mark.
