[TowerTalk] How long will a ROHN tower last?

[Stan Griffiths]

>I am planning on buying a new tower, mine is about 15 years old and not a
ROHN.  I have seen some at flea markets that are rusted.  Is this normal for
a ROHN?  How long can one expect the galvanizing to last?

few months and have already learned a lot.

I bought some used 25G in 1971 that is still in use today and looks great.
I don't really know how old it is.  It will depend a LOT on the environment
it has been in.  For example, I think salt air is pretty rough on it.
