2) I need to use Elevated Guys. (I have small children and can't have
anything basically at head/neck level. I'm planning to put the tops of my guy
points at about 8 feet. (Does this change the rating?) I plan to also employ
a house bracket at 8 feet. This is more for the initial installation of the
tower, however, it's not bad extra insurance

Anytime you change the original specs of the manufacturer, you are in
essence, becoming your own PE. Without knowing how you plan to elevate the
anchor
points, what material you plan to use in doing so, how much concrete you plan
on putting in the holes, not even a PE could give you a good answer. Most
guys on the reflector are not PEs so any answer they give you would only be an
educated guess.
The rating on the 60 ft Rohn 25 with a 90 MPH rating is 10.2 sq ft.
