[Towertalk] Hazer

[WL7M]

Good question.  I use 40 feet of Rohn 25 and the Hazer system here on the 
south central coastline of Alaska.  My HFyagi is a Mosley Pro57B, with a 
Cushcraft 5 element, 6 meter beam mounted 10 feet above that.  I use three 
Phillystran cables with earth screw anchors to guy the tower at the 
top.  My weather recording system has clocked wind gusts well in excess of 
125 mph on numerous occasions.  Result?  No problem - to paraphrase Elton 
John, "It's still standing."

73,
