Chuck, 

Have a look at:
http://www.c-conceptsinc.com/index.html

C-Concepts has excellent page, slide presentation, engineering software that 
can be used for 30 days (cost over $5k), bunch of examples and pictures of 
some serious towers. Have a look at the size of legs on similarly high towers 
- guyed and self-supporting.  It will make all of our hammy problems go away.

Thanks for your voice of reason!

73 and Happy Easter!
