Chuck,
Have a look at:
http://www.c-conceptsinc.com/index.html
C-Concepts has excellent page, slide presentation, engineering software that
can be used for 30 days (cost over $5k), bunch of examples and pictures of
some serious towers. Have a look at the size of legs on similarly high towers
- guyed and self-supporting. It will make all of our hammy problems go away.
Thanks for your voice of reason!
73 and Happy Easter!
Yuri
