Interesting. My R65 is 15+ years old, former AM BCB tower, 20 foot
sections.

FYI, Rohn 65 with 4 bolt 5/8" thick flanges on each leg has one 1/4" weep
hole on each leg, at both ends right next to the flange. The flanges are
drilled to the leg od and welded outside and inside to the tube before
galvanizing. So there are redundant paths for water to escape. My PE
specified 1 foot of 3/4 gravel for the legs to be set into before the 4x4x2'
base pad was poured.
