I am getting ready to put up my first "real" tower. I am trying to decide 
between Rohn 25G and 45G. On the Rohn website, the windload specs for 25 and 
45 are virtually the same at 80 feet. Is this true? How can this be correct?

I will be putting up a KT-34XA on top with various VHF antennas. There will 
also be a 40m-10m rotatable dipole at 60 feet or so. Later I would like to go 
with a Force-12 C31 on top and replace the dipole with the KLM. I think I 
should be able to get by with 25G. (70MPH zone)

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Marty, N9SE
