[TowerTalk] Rohn 25 tower install

[D Calder]

Specs are one thing. Real world, will it handle it? Depends on wind load. I
have one 30' above the highest
bracket with 2 stacked 11el 2 meter beams, 1-5el 6 meter and a 1-17'
vertical with a Ham IV. 900 Meg Omni and
a UHF side mounted.

Went thru 3 hurricanes on 04 and is still standing. I have worked for a
tower company as a 3 state Territory
Supervisor for 10 years now in Operations. Climbed broadcast years before
that. I have seen worse.

Like Steve says, it depends on allot of things.

>  OK, I just finished installing a rohn 25 at about 40' . I  have a heavy 
duty steel bracket fastened to double 2x12 stringers on my deck  and another

approximately 12' above that. The question is , the tower extends  about 
29' above the 2nd house bracket. Should I have to guy the tower any help  
would be welcomed. 


        Current Rohn specs let you  be 15 feet or so above the top 
housebracket so yes, you need to guy the top of  the tower. I don't know
what your 
local windspeed conditions or proposed antenna  load is so that might come 
into play too.
