[TowerTalk] Rohn 55 base adaptor

[Barrie Smith]

Recently lost my second 70', 18" face Glen Martin tower to yet another "freak" windstorm.

I'd like to try something that's a little less impressed with freaks, so am considering Rohn 55, which is also 18" face, but (I've been told) considerably stronger.

The first problem would be that I would like to use the existing concrete and steel base from the GM to mount the Rohn 55.

The base is considerably beyond the specs provided by GM.

I have three 7/8" studs, spaced 21" apart in a triangle.  The studs are just over 2.25" above the concrete.

I have no knowledge of Rohn towers or Rohn bases, but it would seem to me that there may be a Rohn 55 base that I could (safely and well) adapt to my existing concrete and steel assembly.

Any thoughts?
