Hello, for the first time!
I have a free-standing (not guyed) 3-legged lattice tower which is 90
feet high. It has had a 10 ele HF log periodic at the top for 8 years,
wind load of the antenna is 14 sq. ft. and it weighs about 90 lbs
I have put a TIC-ring at 60 feet (weighs 95 lbs) and want to put
another identical antenna (14 sq. ft. 90 lbs) on this rotor.
I just wondered if anyone could help me to work out whether the tower
can take this load, whether I should consider guying the tower etc.
I have searched the internet and these archives but it is difficult to
know how to proceed.
Kindest regards from Denmark
