Nathan, don't forget that the tower with no antennas has wind limits so
don't assume no antenna or very small antenna means no
design/engineering considerations. If you are not subject to significant
winds, EVER, then you might get by with no attention to design.
Here is a way to start to get a handle on your wind speed:

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this tower business; I just moved somehwere where I
need to put up a 50'-ish tower to get service from my local WISP.
I have a bunch of Rohn 25G that was given to me. I noticed Rohn sells
a drive-in base (SDB25G). I live in central Missouri with very clayey
soil; do you think such a base, with sufficient guying, would be
alright for me to use? (Alternatively, I may make my own dirt base
that's longer for more stability.) I don't plan to use the tower for
much, so I'm not too concerned with maximum wind loading.
I have other questions about self-standing towers, but I'll ask those
in a different thread.
Thanks,
--Nathan
