Not sure if you are serious? But if you are, I think you are concerned about
the wrong issue. Look at the Rohn catalog for 25G. At 110 mph Rohn only
recommends a maximum height of 100 ft, with 7.4 sqft of wind load and ANCHORS
PLACED 8O FT FROM THE TOWER.  With 50 ft anchor spacing and 110 mph you should
limit you 25G height to 60 ft. with 8 sqft wind load.

Otherwise you are asking for big time trouble
