I am in the planning process of putting up a 130' tower in NE Alabama.  I
will put up a M2 3 ele 40 mtr yagi atop.  I want to put up Rohn 45, but my
budget may not allow it (only 3k in budget).  Can I safely put that type of
Ant. @ 130' with Rohn 25, if I follow all of Rohn guying specs and not do
any potential damage to the tower or worse.  Any and all advice/suggestion
are highly appreciated.

One strange question.  Does Rohn make a 45/25 Reducer ?  Where as if I
wanted to go up 70 ft with Rohn 45, then rest of the way with 25 ?  May
seem strange or may not serve any other purpose other than saving
money......Agn, any opinions are appreciated......

Dennis, W4DWS
