Hi Butch;
That is unfortunate. Their literature claims a wind survival of 75 miles with no guy wires. I think if I had to get into guy wires I might just consider going back to the r7 or r8. I suspect with the luck I've had finding assemblers I'm not going to anything. Spring will tell the real story.

The butternut is a good antenna, but you definitely need to guy it. I had
one on my house back in Kansas which was a 24 by 84 metal roof, and it
really worked!! A great performer, but a mechanical monster.
