Hi all,
Well that 236 mph on Guam finally broke the record set on Mt Washington in
NH. (I think it was around 213 mph)
I'll tell ya, I dont wish on anyone-anywhere that this new record gets broken!
I bet the only towers surviving that blow were either on the ground already
or haven't arrived on the island yet....
73,
John K1RC

Hello Tower Talkins
I saw on TV last night that in a recent storm the winds on Quam set a new
record for anywhere on the earth at 236 MPH!!! Has anyone heard if any
towers of any kind were able to survive. I'm sure that nothing is rated
for that kind of force.
