Most Rohn 25 top sections are only 8 feet tall.  I'm in the process of 
putting up a full size 160 vertical of Rohn 25 and will use 12 ten foot 
sections of Rohn 25 and a "flat top" top section of 8 feet to very 
closely measure 128' tall.  Considering the size of the tower diameter - 
it should very nearly end up a full quarter wave tall.

Mine will be insulated at the base and have a "lot" of wire under it to 
make it as near a perfect ground as one can do in this sandy Michigan 
soil.
