     Rohn 20 is basically the same external size as Rohn 25,
     with 7 steps per section instead of 8, and the next smaller
     size bracing rod and next smaller gauge tubing for the legs.
     The rated loading is about 50% of the rating for Rohn 25.
     You need another set of guys near the top if you plan to put any
     HF antenna(s) on it! (Even if they are closer than the Rohn
     recommended anchor distance!)

Hello all,since we have been on the subject of tower loads maybe someone
can help me out. I have a 70ft. rohn 20g tower with guys at the 45 ft level
and a house bracket. the base is set down 5ft deep by 3 by 3 ft and filled
with concrete.Just wondering how much antenna load i could put up and get by
with. seems to me rohn stated 2 sq ft. I am not in a normal high wind area
usually 45 mph is the max .
tks we8w
