Hi Gang,
  Am building a housebracketed Rohn 25G for my 6 meter yagi.
It will only be 31 ft. high. The yagi will be a couple feet higher. My
bracket is at 10-11 ft. off the ground. Windloading will be about 2.5 sq.
ft. I'm guessing it should be safe at 80-90 mph.
  Anyone noticed that Rohn never specifies these towers below 40 feet, and
they always call for 2 housebrackets. The tower above the top bracket is
either 10 ft.higher, 14 ft. higher, 24 ft. higher or 34 ft. higher, as the
tower approaches 100 ft.
  Am i correct in my assessment that  below 40 ft. one must draw conclusions
based on inferred info found in the data mentioned above and in the
freestanding data and interpolation of  same? Or is there some practical
data to be found somewhere other than the Rohn catalog?
  Thanks es 73 de Roy Lincoln WA4DOU
