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)?
Probably not reccomended but a friend gave me one that had been up for 20
years that had an antenna package simliar(2m Ringo) to the one you mention
plus an HF tri-bander beam This antenna survived Hurricanne Hugo when
trees in the same yard didnt. Strange thing, we took the tribander down
first and the antenna swayed more after it was removed.
