Rohn 25 is good for more than vhf/uhf.... Follow the mfg's installation
guidelines, guy it properly, and if you are swinging big beams use a bridle on
the top set of guys... My 150 footer has a 4 el 40 meter on top, and an
assortment of other stuff down the tower... It has been through a recorded 76
mph gust(s) without problems...  It is properly guyed and tensioned and will
be standing 20 years from now (assuming I maintain it )
