help ID tower
 

I recently acquired a tower that is thought to be made by Rohn. I got some
information on 25G and 45G towers from www.rohnnet.net but mine seems to be
somewhere between these sizes. It measures ~13.75" between centers of the
legs and the legs are 1.25" diameter. It is galvanized steel and otherwise
resembles newer Rhon towers. It's probably 25 years old but is in excellent
condition. Any info is appreciated.

I have some of the same tower. It is known as Rohn "35" or "HW". It was
apparently made for Motorola by Rohn.

You can find out more by searching the Towertalk archives for "Rohn 35"

Martin,
Sounds like you may have a 'Universal' tower instead
of a 'Rhon'. Not much difference in what they look like.

Martin,

I does sound like a Universal Tower.
They looked very similar to the Rohn 25G product (which was originally made
in Peoria, IL),
but Universal Towers were made in the Chicago area (as I was told during
coffee last week).
The Universal tower was also very heavy!

You might do a couple of google searches of the Universal product
