[TowerTalk] Questions on my tower

[Mike King]

Hi all, its been a while since I have been on this reflector, need some info
if you can spare the time.

I have a US Towers HDX-555 - the heavy duty version, 55 foot crank up.  It
says it is rated for 30 square feet in 50 MPH winds.  What I cant find is
what the dead load rating of the tower is.  In other words, how much in
pounds, of antenna, masting, cables, etc. can the tower support.

Seems to me I heard 300#, but I cant even find it in my documentation for
the tower (if you would even call it that)

Anyway, the tower is working fine, I just am going to add a few more do-dads
too it.

73 and your help is appreciated if anyone has the info.
