Given that Steve has maintained that 25G isn't self-supporting at any
height literally dozens of times on this reflector, I wonder if that
document from 1987 has been superceded.
Umm, really? Doesn't sound familiar.
My reference is a little Rohn pamphlet called "Manufacturer's Technical
Information for Bracketed or Self Supporting Towers - 25G, 45G, 55G & SSV".
Forty-feet of free standing 25G can take 1.5 square feet @ 70 MPH - your basic
TV antenna. At 30-feet it'll take 1.7 square feet @ 90 MPH. Surprisingly
capable.
I've had this pamphlet for years and don't know if it's available on the
website.
Cheers,
