1. What do you plan to put on it?
2. Id strongly suggest a pier pin base no matter what sort of guying.
3. I have 180' of 45G up 17 years and it has withstood hurricanes,
northeasters, microbursts, severe icing, etc. And that was with a 4 stack of
40' booms on 20 and 4/4 40M KLM's. I dont even count the several 20' tall 2
way radio sticks, plus the 20' mast and a 38' boom 6M yagi.
I use 1/4 EHS guys at 70% of height.
