- Tall buildings aren't guyed structures, Bill. I wouldn't expect to see 1"/100' deflection in a guyed tower, unless the guys weren't properly tensioned. To follow your rule, you'd see 20"-40" side-swa

- Interesting question, because the catenary guys are a "spring" so the tower MUST deflect in the wind. A presentation by KE1IH at Dayton (5/20/05) shows a few inches deflection along the tower between

- Yep - I'm thinking that "Maverick" (Tom Cruise) got the nickname from that event, and "Goose" (Anthony Edwards) did too, since that's almost what they did to me.... ;-) 73 Joe _______________________

- Same problem if you're doing an intense rock climb in the Sierras.. nothing like having fast movers come by as you're reaching for that non-existent hold. ____________________________________________

- As I said, privately, to Jim Lux's comment about deflection, and the paper given at Dayton... I thought you could MEASURE some small deflection, but perhaps not feel it. I was thinking of the catenar

- The N7NV analysis is impressive. Tower deflection is attributed largely to guy stretch. I've been on top of 80' sailboat masts, which are intended to be flexible at their top... which don't flex more
