[TowerTalk] unguyed heights for Rohn 65 etc.?

[kk9a at arrl.net]

The normal guy spacing for Rohn 65G is 50 to 60 feet so I believe one guy at
55' would meet their 90 MPH design.

Okay, it looks, then, as if Rohn 65 would do the job at 50' but wouldn't be
enough at 60' -- unguyed.  I would guess that Rohn 80 would have a little
more capability, being huskier.

Even putting one guy set on the tower should greatly increase its
capability -- I'll have to think about the aesthetic and footprint tradeoffs
versus the other options.
