Re: [TowerTalk] Is A Tower Weaker in Some Directions?

["Gary - N5KDA" <n5kda@bellsouth.net>]

I do a lot of VHF/UHF and ran stuff like 7/8" and 1 5/8" heliax down the tower 
legs. Then I noticed the cell phone companies run their heliax down the face of 
the tower. Around SW MS it seems to be random (what ever is easy for the 
installer). In the long run I don't think it makes any difference. If strong 
rotating wind gets to the tower there is no way to know which side it will blow 
strongest on. 

Having three towers that survived an EF-2 that's just my opinion.
