KD8FYT, a 49 foot 25g tower bracketed at 16 feet will require a set of guy cables at around 45 feet if you have a wind load of anything more than 3 or 4. the sway will be there but if you have a good 4 element beam up and a 20 or 30 mph straight wind day will make for a crooked tower and a directional antenna (not the way you want it to be)
Hey a couple questions for you, first off what is the finished height of the tower, and did you ever guy it? I am putting up a used 25g with a house bracket at the 16ft mark (1 ft above where sections 2 and 3 connect) that should be 49 ft when finished. I am curious how much bend you have to deal with with on an unguyed tower. Thanks!

Rohn seems really good; I found a tower I think is a Rohn 45g or 55g that is not being used anymore. Trying to get it.
