Bill:

     One caution about the BX series of towers.  As Rohn literature states, 
they really are not designed for antenna booms longer than ten feet.  Longer 
booms have a tendency to twist the tower in strong winds.  When this 
happens, it stresses the rivets that hold the sections together beyond their 
yield point.  The tower twists itself apart.

Caveat Amateur.
