Understood - I was discussing also the case where there are guys on
vertical support structures (which may also be radiating elements).

E.g. it would not be that odd to have two vertical lattic structures of
50m each, each with guys, and a radiating element between.   It would
not surprise me at all if some of the support structures of a VLF array
were guyed.

This doesn't surprise me as there are not that many wire antennas in the
world at public facilities, and only a few people map them.  I have
never tried to, and this is something I understand.
