I'm curious about the good or bad effect of uneven wind load on a tower
and its wind rating. When I read a wind load rating, I assume that the
manufacturer assumes the load will be applied nearly equally from top to
bottom. Now, what about reality? What is the effect of protecting the
bottom 3/4 of the tower with wind breaks, etc? What happens when most
of the load is applied to "only" the yagi and the top of the (HG-54HD)
tower?
