As others have mentioned, what is it? The attached PDF, that may not go to the 
reflector, shows what's possible. You can "erector set" any combination of 20' 
sections from multiple 10' microwave dishes to a 2 meter whip.

A "16N" section is 22 feet across the base, a "1W" is 1 foot.

Did a project manage on a 16N, 300 footer with 40 yards of concrete.
It was a big hole...


Do Google, the 39meg Rohn catalog is out there.

If anyone wants the one page, ask.
