they have to be guied over 30FT, even with the 18 inch bass sections?
I've seen many a roan tower well over 30 with the larger spaced legs not 
guyed...but not everyone adheres to exact specs I suppose.
I figure with a 5 or 6 foot cube of concrete reenforced with rebar and the 
bottom 5 feet of the tower planted in it, there isn't a whole lot of reason 
to guy the thing even up to 60 feet?
Unless you have really loose soil or crumbly soil.
Or maybe if you have 2 stacked 6 element 20M yaggies or something.
