[TowerTalk] Rohn 45G - Swaged or welded sleeves on legs ??

[W2RU - Bud Hippisley]

There's one other way Rohn 25 and 45 differ from each other:

They're different lengths.

Each standard Rohn 25 section is a total of 10' 0" end to end, so when  
you build a tower, the tower height is NOT 10' x the number of  
sections.  You lose 5" for every ten feet.  A so-called 50-foot Rohn  
25 tower is actually more like 48 feet tall.

Rohn 45, on the other hand, is dimensioned such that you get an honest  
10' x N tower height.  Each section is 10' 5" long.

This is apropos of nothing relating to the current discussion.  I just  
thought it was fascinating when I discovered this, since I had always  
thought they were the same length.  I found it out the first time I  
tried to cart a section of Rohn 45 around inside my Suburban....:-)

This could also be of interest if you plan to store your extra Rohn 45  
sections upright in your garage.
