Anyone ever done that here? Can you explain the angles I might need, and where on the antenna I tie the rope?

I guyed my 6BTV by tying 3 synthetic strings above a trap and running them to whatever was close and convenient.  In my case it was my house and privacy fence, so they stayed up in the air and out of my way.  The angles aren't that important, there's not a lot of force on it like a tower.  Mine were almost horizontal.

Get some of these if you want to get fancy.
