@Doily131 nope, guide wires are for keeping rollercoasters straight. A guy wire is used for supporting structures.

If that tower was near Jefferson City, MO, the local hams would have been on that tower like termites on plywood.

Chicken or the egg? When they put these up- which goes up first- the tower or the guy wire. The tower seems the obvious answer but if it can't stand up without the guy wires....

@44032 Normally a few sections of tower are stacked and then a set of guy wires is added. After those are secure, more of the tower is raised and so forth all the way up. All towers can handle a certain height without guy support, but on a tower like this it's not more than about 40 or 50 feet before it gets pretty wobbly.

No engineer on earth can bring down a tower by cutting the guys and not have it be destroyed. If someone wants to save an erect tower, it's dismantled by a climbing crew and lowered by crane or gin pole. Cutting a guy is done when the tower needs to be brought down cheaply and quickly.

Its guide wire not guy

@minivanlegend Nope, it's guy wire. Having been a radio engineer for many years, I am quite sure of this.

Yeah the tower was dropped because it was no longer needed and no one could be found to take it. It was quite old - it once held a small FM antenna but that moved off so this tower was no longer needed. Sad, but it happens.
