Dear Group:
I just joined Tower Talk -- I've read through the last 5 years of archives
and have certainly learned a lot I did not know. What a resource! I have a
question:
I have just ordered a US Towers HDX-555 tower. At my QTH, I have the option
of orienting the base plate in any direction I want to. My question is: Are
these 3-legged towers weaker (or stronger) in some directions than others? (I
am not a structural engineer.) The reason I ask is that most of the violent
storms that hit here usually come from the same direction. Will orienting the
base plate in a certain direction make it any less vulnerable?
Thanks!
Norm
