Thank you, Steve. I currently have two crank-up towers, one motor driven. One was damaged in 70 MPH winds when I didn't crank it down. It was, however, repairable. Other than that, no problems. All things considered, I wouldn't have anything else, under 70 feet. Nested to 22 feet, with a proper base, a hurricane couldn't take down one of these towers. Win w0lz
