A friend, Jeff, N5MNW, who is not a Towertalk subscriber (but may be
soon) has need of some info on roof-mounting a 20' Rohn 25G tower,
topped with a KT34A. He is having his roof re-done and can have the
carpenter add bracing as needed. His current plans are to have a
"saddle" attached to the peak, to mount a standard Rohn base plate.
With such a short tower and guywires, I expect this might be fine,
though I did inform him about the Rohn roof-mounts for flat and peaked
roofs from the catalog. I pointed him to the towertalk archives, since
there were some threads on mounting and bracing for "roof-towers" (three
or four-legged Hazer or Create-type "towers"), and his tower is so small
I thought these posts might be appropriate. If anyone has any other
advice for Jeff on mounting and/or bracing requirements, please e-mail
him direct at:
Jeff_Schmidt@aprdlgtr.sps.mot.com
Thanks again and 73
