My Rohn 25 is as follows
42' high then 6' of mast pipe for a total of 48'
no guys.
It is anchored with 1yd cube concrete and mounted to a house bracket
9' from bottom.

Antennas at that time where a dual band vertical 7' tall and a discone
mounted on a homemade side arm and a hf dipole.

It survived all the 2004 Hurricanes here in Daytona Beach FL with
known winds of 100 mph.

Granted, as I install more antennas (couple of yagi's and rotor) I
will want to add a set of guy's.

Watching the news/weagther, I feel some will 'bite the dust'.
Appreciate your input. cl.


A properly guyed (2 sets of 3) 50 ft. Rohn 25 in a
minimum recommended configuration will support 10.5
sq. ft. of antenna at 70 mph or 5 sq. ft. at 110 mph
according to my Rohn drawings.
