A long time ago I had 40' of 25G bracketed at 13' with a TA-33 sized tri-bander
and a 2 meter vertical , it worked just fine for me with no issues.

Subject: [TowerTalk] To guy or not to guy...that is the question
I am just about to start the installation of my new 40' Rohn 25 tower and here
is a brief explanation of how it will be setup and what will be on it. Then
you
can tell me whether guying the tower is needed or not. Due to the small size
of
my back yard the guy wires would need to be adjust slightly to stay within the
confines of my yard. The tower is going to be attached to a 4' short tower
section why will be placed into a 4' X 4' X 4" hole with 6 inches of sand and
rock at the bottom and the short tower section with be set into the rock and
sand about 6". The tower is going to be erected beside my detached garage
which
measures 20 ft to the center peak. Approximately two feet from the peak of the
roof I will be attaching a wall bracket which will be held in place with
threaded readi-rod to a 4' X 4" pressured treated piece of lumber that will
span
five studs inside the garage to spread the load across the entire wall instead
of depending on two studs.
Now the antenna that will be mounted on the tower which is going to be
approximately 40' is a Mosley TA-33 and a 5 element 440 antenna and a 6 element
2 meter antenna. So with this setup can I get by without the need for guy
wires?
Thanks
