The top two sections on our office SSV are 5N and 4N. I think it's
something like 8-10" of slope over that 40 feet. The 6, 7 and 8N
sections are obviously a lot different.
What's funny is that the top two sections weigh more than the bottom
three because the tops are solid rod legs and braces. They had all 100
feet of that thing stacked in like 35 minutes. Real tower constructors
with an experienced crane operator know how to get shit done son!
I also specifically requested that we did not do the skinny 3, 2, and 1W
SSV sections on top and opted for the larger 8N base. Good thing too
because I think it would've folded over in the 165+ MPH tornado. In
fact, I'm sure it would have.

Just saying I thought on a Rohn SSV once you got to the upper sections
1-5 they were straight and all the same face width, but actually
there’s a bit of taper to them.

I think he's talking about mounting radios directly on the tower
legs, using the radio's mount built in elevation adjustment,
rather than a standoff mount which is normally needed on a
tapering self supporting tower.

Somone pointed out to me that the top sections of an SSV
are ALMOST straight, not quite. Close enough for
government work though.

What about Rohn 55, 65, etc. You can even get creative and
use the top 50ft of a self supporter where it is straight
so the legs are much further apart. I like those towers.
Thank you,

Yeah, I forgot about needing to be bracketed to a
building to get over
20 feet. Back to the drawing board.
