##  What are u planning to put on top of this tower ?     The Trylon super titan series  will easily  handle 
100++  mph gusts and also loads of ice, like > 1 inch on all surfaces.  IE:  simultaneous ice + windload. 
The biggest they make in that series  is  180 ft tall.   If you want just 120 ft,  you can buy any 120 ft of 
sequential  sections  you want.  IE: the weakest would be the top 120 ft of the 180 ft tower.  
The strongest would be the bottom  120 ft of the 180 ft tower.  

##  They also make another series of towers, that uses  solid legs + welded solid rod bracing. 
It goes to a max  of  150 ft.   Again, you can buy sequential sections.   Again the  strongest
would be the bottom  120 ft.  The weakest would be the  top 120 ft. 

##  They have loads of dealers in the usa.
