Rich AA2MF:
I would need to know Mast OD, Mast ID, (or wall thickness) and type of
material. (or better yet yield strength).
Is the 15 SQ FT a Flat Loading or Round Loading.
With this I could give you the mast survivability, whether the top tower
section could withstand this loading that is a whole new issue.
Also how much of the mast would be below the upper thrust bearing??

Hello to all,
Is there a rule of thumb to follow?
Tower rated:
15 Square feet 1 foot above tower top.
Moving the antenna to 15 feet above tower top.
How large in square feet can the antenna be without exceeding the tower
limits?
Thanks,
Rich AA2MF
