No, it's 115.

I put 110 since my Rohn book doesn't go any higher.

Blake,
  I live in Broward county Florida, and it is rated at 140 m.p.h.

Better check the load rating of 25G.  All of FL is rated at 110mph (as
we
all know now).

Throw the traps in the can and make 3 monobanders out of the Al?

I seem to have collected three Tri-Band HF beams.
They are generic trapped beams, e.g. Mosley, HyGain,
and Cushcraft.

I am considering mounting them all on my Rohn 25 tower
eliminating the need for a rotator.  (I will also
have a couple of doublet wire antennas, a vertical,
a sloper, and a long-wire to supplement the beams.)

I could either mount them back-to-back on the three
opposite faces of the tower, offset far enough so
that there is at least 8-10 inches of separation
between the tips of the reflector elements, OR
I could stack them on the mast separated enough to
try and minimize interaction.

The tower is likely to be approx. 60 feet.

(I understand that the back-to-back method would
require extra supports for the beam masts from
above and below.)

Any experience on the list with either of these
configurations?
