Hi:

I currently have a 59' foot 25 tower with the guy anchors 55' away from
the base.  I'd like to take the tower to 90' so I can stack a total of 3
F12 C3's at 30', 60' and 90'.

However, Rohn calls for 80% spacing from the base which would be 72' so
I'm 17' shy of the needed distance.  I'm in a position where I cannot
move my anchors back any further as the tower sits on a roof.

Knowing the first directive (do what the manufacture says) should I
scrap this idea or is there a chance to make this work?  If I get real
serious, I'll be best served to get an engineer involved I'm sure.

Sure would be nice to have a 3 stack.  You can see pictures of the
current tower at the web site below my signature.
