You won't find any documentation of that because it doesn't make any
sense. Think about it ... wind drag (total surface area) and leverage
(height of tower) are considerably more critical than the weight of
what's up in the air (unless your tower is too weak to hold it up, your
tower flexes a lot, or your tower wasn't installed vertically).
