[TowerTalk] TH-6 to TH-3

[Roger]

The wind survival of an unmodified Hy-Gain TH3Mk4 is approx. 96 mph.

Refl  96 mph
DE   102 mph
Dir   108 mph
Boom  123 mph

If 1.125" x 0.058" x 30" doublers (inserts) are added inside each 1.25" x
48" tubing section near the boom, the element survival can be increased to:

Refl  121 mph
DE   132 mph
Dir   141 mph

These are all with "no ice".
