[TowerTalk] Speaking of Hy-Towers

[Jim White, K4OJ]

if memory serves... the tower is actually the smallest gauge of Rohn BX 
tower... the stamped sheet metal with X cross bracing riveted on it...

I would not imagine a six meter beam would be much in the way of loading 
wind wise - but bet it would have an effect on the verticals performance 
- if it is near the top probably would lower the frequency like a "top 
hat", eh?
