Yup. K5OJI (Texas Instruments ARC, Dallas) has 2 of 'em, both 70'. Actually,
they are NOT the recent "amateur offering" of the SSV series... they are MUCH
older than that, probably close to 30 years old now. A Rohn engineer visited
our site in summer '94 before they were relocated. He said that they were
pre-SSV series, and out of production, but are essentially "the same" as SSV.
I had the pleasure of climbing both of these towers numerous times. It is not
too difficult, one just has to be a bit carefull. These are really STOUT
towers. Wish I had one!
