I can't answer that authoritatively. Usually
the distance was to the edge of the roof ;-)

Well, I guess I will just put the guy wires as far out as I can without
bumping into the trees in the orchard.....or I might just not put up this
extra 50' mast at all, but that means I will have to span nearly 180 feet on
one side of my square loop skywire.

I am already falling out of favor with those around me here with this crazy
antenna project....such is the misunderstood life of the ham ....at least I
am in the country and it is my own place....and the waf is not an issue at
the moment. Some people do not find a 50 foot mast in the middle of an
orchard as beautiful as I do. I think the "industrial" aesthetic needs to be
boosted a bit these days....fortuitious pun...perhaps intended....
