Good point about the self-supporting tower. It takes more concrete for
the base, but with a guyed tower, the needed guying hardware and
concrete for three guy points as well as the minimal base can run into
quite a bit of money.

There can be a lot of pressure on the guy wires of a 50 Rohn 25G tower.

would either arrange the anchors so that you don't need to use the roof, or
install a self supporting tower.

I would like to put up 40-50 feet of 25. It would be behind my single story
ranch house. One guy would go towards the rear. The other 2 would head
toward
the front left and right. The easiest would be to guy to the roof. This
tower
will be for some vhf and uhf antennas. Your thoughts. Mike
