Steve;
Just FYI, after Hurricane Hugo roared thru Charlotte, NC at 88 mph with
gusts to 108 mph, (140 mph at Charleston, SC) many Sked 80 masts were
damaged in the metro area.
K2SD had a DB-1015 stacked above a 204-BA (204 just above top of tower)
on a 12 ft. (3'-4' in 25G tower) 2" 6061-T aluminum with .250 wall. It
was not bent or damaged. Many of us purchased these later for beams about
4' above the towers and small VHF beams above the HF beams, and they are
still in use nearly 10 years later.
Cheers,
Jim, K4SQR
Charlotte.
