Doesn't look like Rohn 20 to me, unless they changed the way it's made...
Rohn 20, like Rohn 25, always had zig-zag rod cross-bracing. It just has
thinner wall tubing for the legs and one less "step" per 10-foot section
than Rohn 25, so it weighs a bit less and wasn't rated as well.
Rohn #6 had welded horizontal-only braces (no zig-zag or "Z" or "W" bracing)
like that shown in the photograph. Rohn #6 hasn't been made in a long
time...I think the last one I bought was in about 1968 or 69.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Can you name me?
I am a used, guyed, galvanized steel tower that is 48 feet tall. I have
three legs spaced 11.5 inches on center. I had a tilt base, but my owner
decided to sink it to the bottom of 52 inches of concrete. I have lived at
three separate QTH's from NNJ to EPA and may be 20 years old. or older
My owner would really like to know my make and model. He would like to add
a section or two to me because he thinks 20 feet more will let him work the
world. He would really like to replace his TA-33 with a bigger beam for the
same reason, but doesn't want to overload me.
I have attached a small picture of myself, but I am not sure if this list
allows attachments. Can you please help him!
