Hi D-

At nmy Florida QTH, I have 60' of Rohn 45 that has been up for 8 years 
without guys and without a problem.  It has a house bracket at 15' so there is 
45' 
that is self-supporting.  The tower has had various HF yagis on it including a 
3-element SteppIR.  The tower has survived several hurricanes without a 
problem... however, the 3-el. SteppIR fibreglass elements blew apart in winds 
of 
aprx. 80mph.

73,
Dick- K9OM
