Hi all
I'm in the process of installing (it's laying on the ground in =
sections<G>) 60 feet of Rohn 25G and have been following the wind load =
and ect. discussions on this tower with interest. What I am thinking of =
putting up is a VHF array consisting of 2 13B2 on sideband, one directly =
above the other (with proper spacing!), and 2 11 element Cushcraft yagis =
on FM on a cross boom. I live in EM27cm and concerned about wind and =
proper guying or the need for it. I've been told that with no more than =
I am putting up, that this tower would be self supporting. True or =
false?? Also, since I am a weight challanged ham ( read that as fat<G>), =
I don't climb towers. So I was considering either a tilt over at base =
type or a Hazer, or a combination of both.

Thanx for your time.
