The short answer: CHA UGS 2.0 is the field guying kit that turns a swaying whip or mast into a controlled three-line support. It includes 30 ft guy lines, 15 in stakes, tensioners, and the ring system needed for documented small-diameter verticals and larger CFM masts.

What should I decide before buying?

  • Use the Delta Guy Ring for the documented MPAS 2.0, MPAS Lite, BV, SS17, SS25, and CFM-16 path.
  • Use the Mast Guy Ring for CFM-34, CFM-34HD, or an appropriate 24-26 mm mast section below 25 ft on a mast no taller than 36 ft.
  • Plan a guy radius around 60-100 percent of the ring height as the guide describes.
  • Allow one operator under 10 minutes only after the site and complete system are practiced.

What must match during setup?

  • The Delta and Mast Guy Rings are not interchangeable merely because either can touch a mast.
  • The Mast Guy Ring is documented for 24-26 mm sections and the guide height limits.
  • Guying stabilizes a supported antenna; it does not increase the antenna or mast load rating.
  • Use the antenna and mast guides together when either imposes a stricter height or guying rule.

What deserves a stop and recheck?

  • Never set lines or stakes where people or vehicles can cross them.
  • Do not overtension and bend the mast.
  • Lower the structure if stakes move, ground softens, wind rises, or any line is damaged.
  • Keep the entire system away from power lines and uncontrolled public access.

How should I put it away?

  • Clean and dry guy lines, tensioners, stakes, rings, and carabiners.
  • Inspect for cuts, abrasion, bent stakes, loose ring hardware, and damaged winders.
  • Repack each line separately to prevent tangles.
  • Replace damaged line or hardware before the next deployment.
