[TowerTalk] Antenna loads for rohn 45

[john at kk9a.com]

Apparently solid leg Rohn 45 does exist (model# 45GSR) and its windload 
ratings are quite impressive - similar to Rohn 65G.

Umm, actually it would change the load  rating significantly. Especially
since tower capacity is a direct function of  leg strength.

    I'm not aware of one but Rohn makes LOTS of  towers besides 25G, 45G,
et al. .
