[TowerTalk] ma 550 windload vs. Mast Height

US Tower rates the MA550 based on windload present
1' above the top of the tower.  Windload derating is
necessary, as mast height is added above the tower 
top.

Are there any structural guys on this reflector who would care to
wade into analysis on what happens if the load is 5' or 10'
above the top of the tower?
