Safety is something never to screw with.
I’d find a local tower company to come out and do a check. That should come with a report indicating what the spec range is and what the tower is currently at.

Unless you send your guys to become certified inspectors, nobody will give you anything that is formal, and youll have to sign a release of liability, but better to know the info than not On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 4:16 PM, <ch...@wbmfg.com <mailto:ch...@wbmfg.com> > wrote: You gotta wonder how the ham checked it. I would want to know the type of tensiometer. If he came back with "what is a tensiometer" then I would be concerned about climbing it too. -----Original Message----- From: Jay Weekley Sent: Tuesday, September 6, 2016 3:13 PM To: Principal WISPA Member List ; Animal Farm Subject: [AFMUG] Tower maintenance training We've got some towers that our climbers are concerned about because they feel the guy wires are loose. We've had them checked by the HAM that built several of our towers including one in question and he said they are fine but there does seem to be a difference in the slack compared to other towers we own. Is there hands on training we can get on tensioning guy wires or is someone in the southeast willing to host two or three people for a few hours for training? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
