ok. The lookup says my county is 100 MPH. So that would be the
goal (Any storm/hurricane with winds above this sustained would
likely take all the towers anyways..). So even though the windload
is only about 5-6 ft -The fact that the mast-repeater antenna would
be almost as tall and/or approaching the towers' weight depending
on the mast - matter? The other thing is this isent a "textbook"
installation of Rohn. 1 of the guys comes at the tower from a funny
angle compared to the other 2 for one thing.(Result of the roof
shape). Just trying to carefull in this upgrade....
thanx for the help..
