Just wanting to see how much people have put on these towers. I know the specs are not all that impresive and the biggest issue is long beams "torquing" the tower, but I am interested to know what you have on yours.

PICS ARE BEST
 

I can tell you from being a Rohn tower(25G) used that it's best to go by the engineering data. Outside of that you risk failure no matter what anyone says they put on top of their tower. Too many variables, like wind, ice, rotator torque and combiation of all these to chance it.

The BX64 is rated at 6sq ft of wind loading and antenna mast length of 10'..
