Preventative "periodic inspection and maintenance", looking at the 'big picture' saves a lot of grief, GOOD FIND Janne!

For that the safety wire does not have to be stainless steel - a Galvanized strand of the wire rope guy cable (heated & cooled to make it workable) or a chunk of Hog fence wire or any new iron wire will check any motion for many, many years. (But keep an eye on it)

The cats had me up way early this morning so I played with photoshop a bit...

I use a similar shackle but it has the pin going through with a sprung split pin locking the other end.. very handy just pull out the split pin to release
maybe i am wrong but it looks like the anchors are not pointing towards the tower

The anchor is perpendicular to the guy wire(actually about 100 degrees), it's a 16mm bar drilled 200mm into bedrock. This way the forces on the tower can newer pull the bar out from the bedrock.
