Positive = uphill, Negative = downhill

Pro Tip: All guyed towers should have anchor points at a minimum of 80% of the tower height. For example, a 100' tower should have guy anchors placed at least 80' from the base. Proper placement ensures stability and safety. Enter a negative slope angle for downhill terrain, positive for uphill.

Simply input the tower height in Feet or Meters or the height at which you plan to attach a guy wire, along with the distance to the anchor point. This app will automatically calculate the precise length of guy wire needed, ensuring accuracy and safety for both ham radio and commercial tower installations.
