[TowerTalk] Rohn 25

[Alan NV8A (ex. AB2OS)]

Somewhere on line I found a Rohn tower calculator, from which I figured 
that I would have to use 65G for an unguyed 60ft. tower to hold my 3el. 
SteppIR (obviously bigger than a 13B2). I don't recall how much concrete 
that needed, but I agree with others who say that the size of the base 
is not the limiting factor here: it's the crumple-resistance of the 
tower itself.
