Sure, but like everything with Rohn, it's not completely clear why you  need
two brackets.  There is no spec given for a single bracket installation.

Then the other funny thing in ALL their specs is why they say "Pinned bases
must not be used." Yet they sell the BPC25G base plate and pier pins and
they even have some drawings for pier pin bases!  Now, perhaps the term
"Pinned bases" is something different.  In general what they show on the web
is somewhat sketchy at best.
