Ok, so I have a 50 foot mast pushed up to about 35 feet and guyed near the top.
I'm thinking about adding a second set of guys (And replacing the other set)
with some small phillystran to set up as a second "High" point in the yard.
My question is this... What is the actual wind load rating that this mast
can handle in that configuration?
I'm planning to add a couple small antennas to it...
1. Center support for a rather cumbersome folded dipole.
2. 6M Ho Loop
3. 2M Ho Loop
4. 8Foot 2M/70cm Vertical
5. If it can handle it, a 3 Element Vertical 2M and a 5 Element vertical 70cm
antenna with a TV Rotor and a 4 foot mast.
The Ho Loops will be mounted, just below the top guy points.
I also have the option, in this case, of guying at 20, 30, 40 and 50 Feet,
but would like to keep it to 2 sets of guys, and 3 absolute max.
So far, at 35 feet, it's withstood an 80MPH wind with one set of guys.
Ok gang... Talk to me.
