From my studies in geometry, trig and physics, I believe the optimum angle
is 45 degrees. Put the anchors as far out as you can, and attach the guy
wire to the antenna mast wherever a 45 degree angle puts it, whether that is
at the top, in the middle or lower down. Just understand that the part of
the mast above where the guy wire connects will be subject to bending forces
from wind. And the further it extends above the guy wires the greater those
bending forces will be at the point where the guy wires connect.

Is there an optimum angle for antenna mast guy wires? I will be using
three guy wires and am a bit limited in real estate.

Just curious.
