- In searching around learning abt WINDLOAD, I have found two terms that seem to be the same: "Wind Load" "Wind Area" Are these one and the same? 73 fer nw es gud DX, QSL VIA: BUR, LotW, e-QSL Bob AD5V

- Also for total WINDLOAD with multiple antennas, do I determine each individual antennas WINDLOAD and then simply add them all together to know if a structure will support them all based on its rated

- Bob: The windload rating of a tower usually stipulates that the specified load is applied at some distance above the tower top, like maybe one or two feet. If your multiple antenna installation sprea

- Bob, you're asking questions that have incredibly complicated answers. I really don't think an open-ended reflector query is the best way to improve your knowledge. I think you need to do some readin

- Bob, Windload would be measured in pounds of thrust. Windarea would be measured in square feet or meters. No, windload cannot simply be added together. Neither can windarea. Here's a link to a basic

- In general, windload is referring to the force in pounds caused by the wind blowing on an antenna or other structure(s). For this to be meaningful the associated wind speed has to be given as well. I

- No.. Load is the actual force on the structure.. approximately equal to : Force (in lbs) = V^2 * Area/391 (for V in mi/hr, Area in sq ft, sealevel pressure, 59F, etc.etc.etc) Towers will come "rated"

- "A much better and more accurate discussion of mast forces is in Dave Leeson's, ex-W6QHS, W6NL, book "Physical Design of Yagi Antennas". It's out of print but you can probably find a copy somewhere.
