Rohn rates 25G as stackable to 30ft with no antennas.

in the process of installing (it's laying on the ground in sections<G>)
60 feet of Rohn 25G and have been following the wind load and ect. discussions
on this tower with interest. What I am thinking of putting up is a VHF
array consisting of 2 13B2 on sideband, one directly above the other (with
proper spacing!), and 2 11 element Cushcraft yagis on FM on a cross boom.
I live in EM27cm and concerned about wind and proper guying or the need
for it. I've been told that with no more than I am putting up, that this
tower would be self supporting. True or false?? Also, since I am a weight
challanged ham ( read that as fat<G>), I don't climb towers. So I was
considering either a tilt over at base type or a Hazer, or a combination
of both.</FONT></FONT> <FONT SIZE=-1>Thanx for your time.</FONT><FONT SIZE=-1>Scott
