[TowerTalk] Need to identify the tower

[Steve Jones]

Guys, you're all correct!  The current Rohn 25G has Z-bracing.  

But my old tower looks exactly like the photo Alex sent.  It is still
standing behind my parents old house in Sacramento, where it went up in
1966.  I remember it was called a Rohn 25, not 25G.  I wonder if the design
changed when they changed the designation from 25 to 25G?

73,
Steve

no, Rohn-25 has Z-braces and I have one so I know for sure.
