Worked on the system for Motorola.. Every self support I saw was Rohn SS.
Depending on height needed and wind load, determined what sections were used.
Look on cross braces for stamped numbers, like 5N, 6N. Google for Rohn's book.
What site is it? A tribute to Motorola and your tax dollar at work, many of
those Micors are still in service with the PSP.
