Can anyone tell me what kind of antenna load I can stack on Rohn 45? I am looking at 130' of tower with a 4 element (full size) 40 Meter at the 130 foot mark but would like to stack 6X6 60ft boom 20
18 Square Feet is the max windload for 130 feet of Rohn 45 and the normal 3 sets of guys. I've always heard you don't add a 4th set of guys due to something about compressing the base too much. The w

I doubt solid legs would change the load rating much, but they would be very nice for towers installed in corrosive locations. Does Rohn really make a solid leg 45g tower? John P40A What load with th
To quote the 45G is constructed on and 18" equilateral triangle patter, utilizing 1 1/2" OD , 14 Gauge , special quality steel tubing, of solid steel rod legs. They say it's available, but don't list
Actually @ 70 MPH, it'll take 21 sq. ft. per Rohn specs. Don't forget to add back in the 8.0 sq.ft. that they take off of the tower capacity for a symmetrical antenna mount which you're not going to

very nice for towers installed in corrosive locations. Umm, actually it would change the load rating significantly. Especially since tower capacity is a direct function of leg strength. I'm not aware
I'm not so sure about that. Most towers are limited by the buckling load on the various short segments of tubing which are quite slender (that is, you consider it a slender column from one joint wher
They apparently did at one time. They are described in the construction of the 45G as being available with both tubular and solid legs, but I've found no other reference. It looks like they did offer
Apparently solid leg Rohn 45 does exist (model# 45GSR) and its windload ratings are quite impressive - similar to Rohn 65G. John KK9A very nice for towers installed in corrosive locations. Umm, actua
But what's the cost comparison? My gut feel is that 65G would be cheaper than 45G. 65 is also larger overall diameter than 45, which helps with the overall buckling load (you have to figure out the l
