Frank -
I wonder where u got those specs? After my last message, I checked my
original notes. US Tower told me 500# but I never could get a 70 mph
rating. 200# is way too light! Any 4130 mast of 20 feet weighs well over
100# and these towers are designed for big antennas!

> BTW, I did get the 'missing' wind load and dead weight specs for the HDX572:
> 200# dead weight and 22.8 sq feet at 70mph

> The HDX572 wind load capacity is considerably more than the LM470 (7.8 sq ft

> equal).
