I agree with John, KK9A.
Get a Universal aluminum tower. They are designed to be self-supporting.
You can find one that is quite inexpensive for your application at
Texas Towers (or the Universal website).
I'd prefer to get one for a larger windload than you need, in case you
ever decide to put up something 'bigger' than a vertical.
I have plans to increase my 5 Universal towers to 8 in the near future.

That sounds pretty dangerous! I would use a tower designed to be self
supporting like Trylon, AN Wireless, Rohn SSV or a Universal Aluminum
tower.

for only a 6 meter ground plane at 55-60' the rohn 45 would be way overkill.
even rohn 25 would be way more than is needed.

Hi all, I need to get a rough estimate of what it would cost to install a
ground mounted, self supporting 55 to 60 foot tower, supporting a 6 meter
ground plane.
Cost would include... say a run of LMR400 with proper tower and cable
grounding and an entrance panel. Would Rohn45 be up to that task?
Location; up in the hills of northern New Jersey.
Thanks for your help,
