I am in the design and planning stages of installing a tower for a 400w 
Air-X wind generator. I need some input...How tall would you dare go
using 
1-1/2" sch 40 galv. pipe and if the run from the base of the tower to my

batteries is 150 feet, what conductor wire AGW would you recommend. Can
I go 
one size smaller with the ground? One more thing, minimum wire size for
the 
guys

I was thinking 33 feet tall, and 4 AGW  for the conductor... and 8
lengths 
(2 on each side) of 3/16" cable for the guys

Thanks, Paul...
