Does anyone have any experiences with using Rohn radio tower for this
that
they can share?


Yeah Bob...Don't Do It!!  Rohn has had such bad experiences with
do-it-yourselfers using lightweight radio towers for wind machines that
they wouldn't even talk with me about putting their towers in the Real
Goods catalogs. Unless the tower is engineered for the side thrust of
the particular turbine...Don't Do It!!

There's a huge difference in the side thrust applied to a radio tower,
compared to a wind turbine.
