It is only self supporting to 45' with a limited windload and obviously the
base has to be designed for this - no pier pin. I am not aware of any Rohn
45 (no G) tower.

Agghhh.... My apologies to the reflector. I had a "brain-freeze" on the
Rohn 45G. It most definitely IS self-supporting. I remembered the the "G"
incorrectly and I have Rohn 45 towers not Rohn 45 G.
Ignore my point #1 except for the "put it up now and be done with it."
Points #2 and #3 are still accurate. But I would still follow the
manufacturer's specs and if they do not talk about guying the free-standing
Rohn 45 G then I would not do it, nor would I exceed their height
recommendations/weight/wind load recommendations.
