The post below is the best advice you have had so far. You have to plan for
the unexpected.
Back when I lived in the UK the top 10 feet or so of the tower came crashing
into the roof of the house in a freak 104 MPH wind one night, with just a
Cushcraft A3 on it, this was a tempery installation and guyed with rope.
I was young eager and stupid, but I sure learned my lesson (1,000 pounds
sterling later:-)

The line between AMATEUR and doing it right comes in to play with towers.
25G may be self supporting for a small TV antenna. Dont even think you can
get away with a tribander.
Do your self a real favor... Wait until you can do it right and safely.
You'll get to enjoy the results
a whole lot longer. Compared to the cost of an antenna, not to mention
lives,
guy wires and anchors are cheap.
