Dear Rick (WA1RKT):
It depends. Out where I live with nothing (such as trees and buildings)
to reduce the energy of the wind, I would not feel comfortable with more
than two sections of 25G. Three sections in an urban area with lots of
trees and buildings, and with no danger to life or property if the thing
blows down, might be reasonable.
The standard for such things (222G) adjusts the safety factor (though
not called that) depending on terrain and what is in the fall-over-radius.
Thus the information provided by Rohn provides only a starting point.
It depends. Tell us more.
73, Mac N8TT

How high would you all feel comfortable about going with a Rohn 25G tower
without guys, with a 6-foot concrete base and a 2 meter / 440 gain
vertical antenna on top (e.g. Diamond X-700HNA)?
