on smaller towers, a good rule of thumb is the guide wire is too loose if you can wiglle it and create a snake up the wire.
also, on hot days the wire will be loose, while on cold days it will be tight. the trick to tensioning the wire is not to tighten it so much that it causes a failure during extreme cold.
