Is it possible this tower designer was "green" and ahead of his/her time?
The oscillations you describe could be damped with a dashpot, consisting of
a butter churn. Wind power to convert cream into butter!

" This means that there is some combination of winds which will cause a
resonant condition to exist, where the guy lines will oscillate up and down,
exciting the tower to jump up and down. When you constrain something in a
saddle, supported only by its weight, there needs to be something that damps
the resonances. In this instance, I see nothing.
