[TowerTalk] Ref: Crank Up towers

[Win]

Larry, the tower that was damaged was a old light duty Tri-Ex five section 
tower.  It bent over at the lower end of the top section.  All that was 
necessary to repair it was to right the section and lower it, then repair 
(weld) one horizontal brace.  The tower was actually probably overloaded 
with the rotor in the mast above the top of the tower, and a HB 5 element 10 
meter beam with a 20 foot boom on it.  My guess is that the antenna weighed 
about 35 lbs.  Had the tower been a medium or heavy duty type, I doubt there 
would have been any damage.  The beam survived without any damage.

Seasons Greetings to everyone.
