Okay, it looks, then, as if Rohn 65 would do the job at 50' but wouldn't be
enough at 60' -- unguyed. I would guess that Rohn 80 would have a little
more capability, being huskier.
Even putting one guy set on the tower should greatly increase its
capability -- I'll have to think about the aesthetic and footprint tradeoffs
versus the other options.
