A lot depends on the current installation, but you have the VHF/UHF

quite a bending moment although to do that I'd assume you have the
rotator down inside the tower.

Good afternoon, Roger.

The VHF/UHF "array" is merely a vertical, Diamond X3200. I'm quite
certain it and the relatively thin wall mast supporting it will break LONG
before the tower does even with no additional guying.

However, today I started thinking about maybe putting up a 2-element
SteppIR, mostly because I need to operate on MARS frequencies that are
a ways outside the 20-meter band. No doubt that becomes a whole 'nother
ballgame. I'll start a new thread on that topic.
