    Well, if the price is right and it doesn't cost a fortune to take it down 
or put it back up, why not? They'd make a couple of great HD ham towers.

    These are not in the ham purview for installing them yourself (20-foot 
sections, BIG weight, commercial-grade, etc.) but they'll take ANYTHING you 
could throw at them. This is a guess but I'll bet you a nickel that they'll 
take 100 square feet of windloading or so.
