[TowerTalk] Rohn 45

["Gregg Seidl" <k9kl@centurytel.net>]

Looks like I’ve got suggestions from weld the 45 to the 25 and this just isn’t 
going to work. For those who do not understand what a 24 foot box is,it is 4 
antennas mounted on each corner of a 24 feet by 24 feet box. It is for EME. The 
way you end up with 28 feet of Rohn 45 is 2 ten foot sections and one 
flat-plate top section,I think those are 8 feet but they may be 7 feet. II ‘d 
have to go in the shed and measure it. I could guy it but it would not be guyed 
at the typical 70-80% of the towers’ height. The guys would get in the way of 
the bottom antennas.I could possibly guy the tower about 10 feet up and 10 feet 
out which isn’t spec but it would help a LOT. The 18 square feet I stated is 
close with all the H frame pipe there. The antennas are only 10 square feet but 
the pipes add about 8 more square feet plus the rotor face adds a little more 
too. I have a M2 2800 rotor to use for this project.
I must say that my first thought was to remove the base and place the 45 in the 
hole and re-cement and that is what I still think I might do.
Hopefully this will clear up what my intentions are with the 45.
