I attach the guy to the bolt that holds the mast insulator thing on the mast. There is a special fitting for attaching a guy to a mast, but I forget what it's called. Not too many periscope masts in my area, so that fitting would be special order.

I've always used a secondary bracket with an insulated "bob" and a fanner grip wrapped around the guy cable on each end.

I've done both the 2cd insulator and using the back of the mast clamp. I'm always a little concerned about the other end of the guy. I hate putting holes in roofs.

Wires?
Here we must use 2, 3/4" EMT's, attach to the point of attachment and 3/8" bolt thru a framing member..
I HATE putting holes in roofs too but over 36" requires it.
