Not according to "The book".  They used to have and may still do some 
where that 45G can stand 30' unguyed (I can't find it now), but the 
antenna load is small.  On the last  page of the 45G section it says 
"Guyed towers are not  self supporting at any height".

Yes I know it's done, but when doing so you're on your own.  As it's 
against ROHN's own recommendations I doubt any insurance would be good 
be it liability of replacement.
