The tower won't be a problem. Since the criss-cross braces are less than 1/4 wave apart, the tower 'loks' like a solid piece. Having the support structure AND guy wires within the field (all of which would be longer than 1/4 wave) would throw the pattern off and make your SWR unstable with antenna orientation.
