Charlie,
I sent you a spec sheet for Rohn anchors...

Did Rohn change their anchor specifications? I thought the strength of
the anchors used to be in their catalog but I am not seeing it online.
With that windload and your area you have reason for concern. You could
always add a second set of anchors. My closest 15m and 40m beams are
about 16 feet apart and I have no noticeable interaction however my 40m
beam is not resonant on 15m. You should model your proposed installation
to ensure minimal interaction.

Hi ! I've got a few questions. Here's what I'm doing: Rohn 55 120ft
I live in Massachusetts near the northeast corner of Rhode Island. It's a
110
MPH zone. I'd classify this as an Exposure B
(Wooded) area.
I put the guy anchors and the base in back in '99. I used GAR30 anchor
rods and
a 10 foot tower section along with
the re-bar that was required at that time at all four locations. Base and
anchor holes were completely filled with
4000psi concrete.
First, I worried about the anchor rods. I wish I had used the larger
GAC3455 or
5655. I was steered to the GAR30's.
What are these limited to ? At what load will they fail at ?
This limit may dictate what I ultimately put onto the tower.
Second, what equalizer plates should be used ? Should I double up on
EP-2534-3
?
Will those bolts be adequate ?
My third biggest question might not be appropriate for this list but here
goes:
I have a full size Wilson 40M3.
( Yes, I'm planning a star guy bracket at the top. )
How far way should a 15M yagi be from the 40 ?
My guess is 15 to 25 feet.
How far way should a 20M yagi be from the 40 ?
Based on what I've seen in the field, 10 to 12 feet should be plenty here.
Thanks
Charlie N1RR
