[TowerTalk] rohn 25g foldover

[jim Jarvis]

Richard,

I doubt seriously that you could put anything useful on it, and not  
guy it.

On the other hand, I have first hand experience with 45G unguyed, to  
60', using
a foldover section.    It was supported by custom built double house  
brackets, at 8 and 18'.
But it violated every rule in the book.   Only reason I got away with  
it was that I did fundamental
stress calculations on every part of the system.    I doubt you could  
do the same with 25g.

As for market value,  the foldover hinged section is no longer  
made.   If it's in good shape,
it's probably worth 250 bucks,  plus maybe 50 a section for the rest  
of the tower.

I just bought 40' of 25g with house bracket and accessory shelf, for  
$180,  as a reference.
