Anyone have any experience with or heard of Rohn J tower?  Like Rohn 45G but
bolt together.  Anyone know of spec's, is it sturdier than 45?

Rohn J series, also called "Rigid-Tube", featured knocked down tower sections 
(i.e. all bolted construction) 18" triangular (19-1/2" face), 10 ft sections, 
similar to Rohn 45G. According to an old spec manual I have, it was good for 
6.5 sq ft in 30psf wind. (old ratings) and rated to 300'

The Rigid-Tube model line also included Rohn C, 24" triangular. Rated to 400' 
and 12 sq ft of antenna.
