[TowerTalk] guy levels ?

[bill rubin]

I was not planing to put it at the top for that reason.  The Rohn spec for
90' is for only 2 guy levels.  So since the plan iI had for 100' was
canceled do to local county zoning I thought why not guy the 90' in 3
locations since i have all the parts now anyway.

So while the spec at for 90' @ 110 mpg shows the levels at 84' and 39' I was
thinking of 3 levels. Perhaps at 31' 61' and 84'   But there is no spec
sheet to provide to my local government.

Is there any spec sheets for Rohn 45 with ice i wonder ??
