I had a Rohn 55 tower that was built in 1971 as 150’ high with 4 levels of
guys and anchors 120’ from the base. Some ten years later they put two more
sections on, making it 170’, and added a 5th guy level (and borrowed the
4th level’s spot on the guy anchor plate for it)
I've seen that tower -- it was about 3 miles from me, and my impression
of it was that it was well engineered given the conditions. Matthew
designed and built a VERY innovative wide coverage repeater system --
moderately innovative in concept, but extremely innovative as to how he
repurposed equipment of moderate cost to implement it. Check out
WB6ECE.org I never remember Matthew's call, but he's a VERY impressive
guy who has given back a LOT to the community. Last I heard he had
leadership responsibility for Alexa engineering.
