[TowerTalk] Short tower base question

[Ed Swiderski, KU4BP]

All,

I have a couple full pieces and one cut piece of Rohn 25 that I'd like put
up against the house with a couple VHF antennas on it. (2m-16el and
432-18el) I plan on using a house bracket at about 3/4 of the height was
wondering if a full size base is neccessary? I have been told by a good
friend who used to work at installing towers that I can get away with a
smaller than spec base in this situation.

Thank you,
Ed KU4BP
