I'm taking down a 70' 25g that is bracketed at 20' and has a 10' pipe in the
top. I took the territory over on trade with another WISP. It has been there
for 18 months approx and has had 70mph storms that took down trees since I took
it over. I didn't sleep that night but it still stands. It sucks to climb and
we are replacing it with a 80' guyed tower in the guys yard.

I have a 40' 25g bracketed at about 15 feet at home. 70 mile TV antenna on top.
3.6 450 SM on a reflector right below that. It's stable.

It's going to depend a lot on the wind load. If the load is light, I would go
with 2 10' sections above the last brace or guy. If the load is heavy, only
one. I would never go above 2.

I have it in my head that you cannot go more than 35 feet on 25g above the last
bracket.
We have a customer at an American Tower site adding 20-30 foot of tower to his
existing 25g. currently he has 20' with a bracket at ten foot on his shelter
(actually its at about 9')
at what height (minimal antenna load) does spec dictate he needs to guy this
thing? Im having a hard time with the spec sheets understanding. (this is
excluding whether he actually has AT permission or whether he has the correct
base for the additional height, I just dont want our guy hanging gear higher
than is safe(ish)
