I had a two section Wilson tubular tower for about 8 years. I don't know
what the model number was but each section was about 21 feet long. The
antenna was a Mosley TA33 up about 10' above the tower top. There was a Ham
IV rotator (with the mast attachment on the bottom) bolted to the top of the
tower and an 8' mast above the rotator. The tower was tilted up using a
boat winch on the 2x6 member of the roof of a 2 story house and then
anchored at about 15 to 17 feet. No problems of any sort.
