Craig, you need to get an engineered design for elevated guy wires like this. How did you come to the conclusion that a 5.5" diameter conduit pipe was going to be sufficient?
Even if you want to attempt the calcs yourself, you are way undersized. I did the calcs myself once with a ME buddy helping me, we ended up needing 12" diameter pipe I think 1/2" wall thickness to raise the guy points for a 100ft 25G up 6ft above ground. We augered 3ft diameter holes 4ft deep around the pipes. I-Beams are probably a more typical solution but we have a used pipeline company nearby so the 12" pipe was readily accessible.
