How do you go about determining how much antenna (square foot wise)
you can safely put on a mast. I know theres an article in NCJ a while
back explaining this but its in storage somewhere.
I have an 18' 2" x .25" wall aluminum mast. I believe its rated at
40,000 lbs psi. Its a good mast but certainly not chrom-molly.
I'm thinking about rotatable dipoles for 40 and 80 at the 7.5' and
15' levels (3' of the mast inside the tower).
Thanks in advance.
