Problem with the rhon towers is they are not made to free stand over 30
feet or so. Above that they need many guys. You also have to take a
look at wind load. I wouldn't trust 30 foot of rhon to free stand with
large tri bander and other antennas. They're not designed to free
stand. I don't recall the specs on rhon 45, but I remember for 25, 30
feet is the absolute max they recommend.
