[TowerTalk] Universal Towers

[n4kg@juno.com]

I have a Heights Aluminum tower.  

Two shortcomings are that the sections
are tapered inward at the BOTTOM,
allowing water to flow INTO the junction.
DUMB idea.  I taped all joints to protect
them.

The second shortcoming is that there is
NO horizontal brace at the TOP of each
section.  This is not a problem for straight
sections, but for tapered sections, there
is NO bracing in one direction.  ALL of
the strength must come from the leg itself.
DUMB idea.
