Most, if not all, of Florida is 100 MPH or 110 MPH territory. I would
not consider leaving 20' of Rohn 45 above the guy point even with a
small tribander (C-3, TH3, TA33, A3, etc.). Such an installation would
be "pushing the envelope" for the tower strength at the guy attachment,
the base, and in the middle of the lower span.
