[TowerTalk] Rohn SSV Towers

[bob finger]

If it is in good condition and on the ground it could be a good deal.  
Its use depends on what the section types are.  There are very stout 100 
foot SSV's and there are 100 foot SSV's that I would not put anything 
beyond a 2 meter vertical stick on top of.  Look at the engineering 
specs and then determine what the sections are and then you can answer 
some questions re what will it support.  They can be tough to work on 
and fabricating rotating mast mounts and rotor plates etc is something 
you have to deal with.  73 bob de w9ge
