[TowerTalk] R25G vs. large antenna

[donovanf at starpower.net]

The Rohn design assumes one 5/8" diameter line on each tower face. 

The wind rating is higher for ham tower installations where only a few RG-213 coax cables and small diameter control lines are fastened to the legs (not the face) of the tower.
