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.
Richard

  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.
