geo,

Brian didn't specify the BRAND or other mechanical specs except
height.  Climbing a "skinny" tower of the 130' height can be a lot of
"fun"....best
to have some solid support there for, say, a ~200 lbs man.

Brian said he was putting up a 160 vertical with no other antennas on the
tower. There's nothing to put any torque on the tower, thus absolutely no
requirement for torque arms (even if you believe in their efficacy).

Brian,

You didn't say what tower you are going to put up, but
the BEST thing is to follow the manufacture's recommendations
regarding breaking strength/working load and placement of
the guys....no matter WHAT kind of guys you use.

If you are using Rohn-25, torque bars are a good thing to
add eventhough not "required".  Just my experience.
