Tom,
I have had an HDBX 48 with a 56 top section up for 15+ years. It has
had a KT-34XA and a 2 element 40 for at least ten years. I live north of
Dallas and we have some really strong winds here. There have been reports
of 80 mph and it has been fine. The rotor has remained in the 48 section
and I used a 21 ft. mast.
Aside from being uncomfortable to climb, it's been a great tower for a
corner lot.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rohn HDBX-40
Sender: owner-towertalk@contesting.com
Folks,
A friend of mine is in the process of installing a free-standing Rohn HDBX-40.
He has it mounted in 5 cubic yards of concrete w/rebar.
How big of an antenna can he put on this thing without having to guy it?
The way I understand it, the info that he has says that Rohn has no data on
antennas with a boom longer than 10 feet. He is possibly interested in going
with something
like a KT-34XA. Will this tower support one of these without guys?
He will appreciate any information that is forthcoming.
73 and thanks,
Tom K5IID
