[TowerTalk] guyed tower reference?

[Leonard Kay]

Hi people,

I'm currently in the process of getting my 
building permit at my new QTH and have run across 
a small snag. My building commissioner wants to see 
some evidence that guyed towers crumple when 
they fail (not fall over) before he issues me 
a permit for my 90' tower that is about 70' from 
the nearest property line. 

I've searched the archives and the Web and I get
a lot of hits (a lot of which are from right here), 
but I haven't found an actual reference to 
a published study. Can anyone give me a pointer 
to such a document? I'll call Rohn today too.

Tnx & 73
