What Bill says is correct, and it is easy to implement on 6M. Put one
insulator as close to the mast as possible and another 4 - 5 feet down the
guy. Even though that is close to quarter wave, it isn't resonant unless
you leave out the insulator. That will put the unknown grounded remainder
of the guys almost a half wave away, which is barely acceptable, but better
than having them right up under the antenna.

Three feet is pretty close. I'd break it up with insulators or else use
Phillystrand for the part close to the antenna. The important thing is
whether the guy wire is resonant (or close to resonance). If you leave
it as is, you're always going to wonder if you shoulda.
