[TowerTalk] Need to identify the tower

[Wayne Kline]

 R-20 has the same   Dia.  leg material as  R-25... it's the Z brace  material   R -25  5/16"  and R-20 1/4" and number of  Z's   Bays  R-25   has 7  where   R-20 has 6 bays .


 The " American tower I am familiar with had the pinched welded cross bar and was " NOT" galvanized .

 Had a higher degree of  PUCKER  factor   even at low heights of 30'


 But then again R-25  gets the same  flexible  pucker @ 100 plus ft.

I've climbed 90 feet of it and it "felt" was about as sturdy as 25G, of
course after climbing 100' 45G a 25G feels like light duty too <:-)

My old ROHN catalog shows 25G with Z braces.  I don't remember what the
20 looked like.
