[TowerTalk] Why is the 25GSSB Base Plate Difficult to Find?

[N3XX - Tim Heger]

A Google search for "25GSSB" found a couple of places selling them:

http://www.criticaltowers.com/Rohn%20Data/ROHN%2025GSSB%20Self%20Supporting%20Base%20Plate.htm

or

http://www.hol4g.com/ac/product.aspx?number=ROH-25GSSB&p=161074&sc=0

If your tower will be bracketed, wouldn't a BPC25G or a BPH25G work just as 
well?

73,
