The whole tower is kept from tipping over through the use of guy
wires.

Why build an unstable tower? What are the advantages of this design?

It's not unstable with the guy wires. That design is usually used when
the tower is insulated from ground with a big insulator I think. It's
probably a 1/4 wave AM-BC antenna . MK

Thanks to all that replied. I've been puzzled by this for about nine
months of such trips now, and finally remembered to post.
