    What does your Rohn book say? That's a loaded question because it looks 
like you don't have one. You'd be able to answer your own question if you 
did. You can get one at <A HREF="www.championradio.com">Champion Radio 
Products</A> . Without it you won't know what the other tower specs are; 
i.e., base and anchor dimensions.

    What are you calculating and how are you calculating it? How do you know 
it's over spec if you don't have the spec?

    The answer to your question is, yes - it'll be just fine as long as you 
follow the LXC Prime Directive to "DO what the manufacturer says".
