windload, unguyed?  Small = TH2 + 3el 6M +  rotator.
 
    Well, it depends. What's your county windspeed  rating? If you don't 
know, you can find it at 
_http://www.championradio.com/county.windspeed.data.html_ (http://www.championradio.com/county.windspeed.data.html) .  It's the 
minimum - your local building department may have deemed it higher.  

A free-standing 45G can go to around 35' with  your load @ 80 MPH. Rohn 
specs allow you to be about 15 feet above the  housebracket but the stated 
loads are bigger so they don't provide a direct  answer.
