[TowerTalk] Rohn 45 bracketed

[van wd8aam]

I had a free-standing Rohn 25G - 3 section 10'  tower, bottom section buried
3.5 feet in dirt/dry concrete (not mixed) for a Height above ground 
(AGL) of 26.5'
Had a Hazer tram with a 12' 2" (.25 wall) aluminum mast, total mast 
height was 34.5'
Triband beam (Mosley TA-33) at 32' AGL, The house with the roof peak 
at 24' to the
west sheltered the tower (25' away) from wind SW thru NW (usually the 
worst winds in the Minnesota
area, tower was up over 5+ years, never a problem.

Just for reference......
