 I have a rohn HBX 56 and I'm only going to use the bottom 3 sections...(
24 feet.)  Section 8 is 30 inches, section 6 is 24 inches. I am wondering
about what kind of wind load this will handle? I'm not to concerned about
the tower folding over! my concern is if it will handle the twist?   The
antenna will be a 2m EME array, 16 each 10 element 17 foot boom,  36 foot
wide and 38 foot tall .  The array will be tied down like an airplane when
not in use.   What do you think?

Thanks Ed N5BLZ
