I just wanted to say thanks to all of the TowerTalkians who answered
my questions on "low beam vs vertical" and roof towers a few months ago.
This past weekend we put up a Glen Martin 17.5' roof tower with a
Force-12 C4S beam on top (at about 32') and it works like gangbusters.
The vertical sounded like a dummy load compared to the new beam. The
difference is really unbelievable. If anybody is considering putting
up a beam, but you're worried that it's not high enough, JUST DO IT!
See you on the bands...
