I have a two section 40-foot tower I am going to put up.  I will guy 
it with three guy wires at the top of the lower 20-foot section.  I 
have forgotten the recommended distance out from the tower for the 
guy wires.  My intuition is to put the guys 20 feet out from the 
tower to make a 45-degree angle.  Do any of you recall whether that 
is the recommendation in the ARRL Antenna Book?

Thank and 73 de W7OQ, Dave
