[TowerTalk] hy-gain tower modle HG-52SS

[Jim Campbell]

Hello;

I have a hy-gain tower, modle HG-52SS.  Tower is rated at 50 mph at 52
ft, with windload of 10 ft.  I'm useing a 13 ft. mast with 4 antennas.
Wind load will be 10 sg. ft.  The tower is a three section crank up.  I
only want to crank the tower up to a height that would allow it to be
rated at app. 75 mph.,  need help to determine  what height I should
crank the tower up to for a app. rateing of 75 mph.  Also does anyone
have a est. windload for each ft. below 52 ft.

Any help would be greatly appericated.

Jim
