That is how I had it mounted on the the rohn 45 tower. I think they were cellwave brackets but put about 6 or 7ft pipes on them. Drilled 2 holes on each and they bracketed right on the pipes. The plate was so simple, I copied it on paper so as to reproduce it if it was needed later. Thing I wonder on this is that this tower face could be huge in comparison. Take a look at this; http://disneycrazy.smugmug.com/gallery/2241024#169465260 (magic2006 is the password) Don't think the standard 10' pipe would work. Anyone have ideas how big this face is? It would be mounted 50' above the corner beam on that same side. Thanks, Robert KD4YDC
