> I heard back from the building inspector. Not suprisingly, they didn't
even

> I thought I had a local PE who was going to take care of it (he quoted me
a
> rate and estimated time, and I mailed him a set of plans over two weeks
> ago). But, after several phone calls which he hasn't returned, it appears
he

> So, I need a PE to look at what I am planning to do.  Specifically, the
> building department has requested a cover letter from a registered PE that
> states the proposed structure has been reviewed and found adequate for the
> planned loads.  Registration in Utah is not necessary - any state will be
> fine.
>
> In brief, what I am planning is 100 feet of Rohn 55 with pier pin and 80%
> two level guying. XM240 5' above top of tower on 2" mast, C31XR's at 90'
and
> 55' on ring rotors.  Salt Lake County is 75 mph wind zone.
>
> I can provide the following materials for review:
> - Plans showing tower base / guy placement
> - Elevation detail showing antenna placement
> - Details on antennas, mounts, feedlines showing weight, wind area, etc.
> - Manufacturer's spec sheets on above
>
> Any PE's out there interested?
