The tower is a Rohn FK25-68. The ground to hinge is listed as 32.5 feet and
the hinge to apex is listed as 35.5 feet. With 4 guys at the hinge and 4
guys at the apex, it is rated for 6.2 sq feet antenna at 30 psf (86 mph)
wind loading or 11.7 sq ft at 20 psf (70 mph) wind loading. The guy posts
are located 25 feet from the tower in each of the four directions and will
clear most antennas. The maximum antenna load including rotator at apex is
100 pounds. The spec sheet is dated 12-5-83. I have a Rohn 45 68 feet Fold
over tower and they are very good towers. Unfortunately Rohn has quit
producing them.
