Hello All,

I have a question regarding wind loading.

When tower or antenna manufactures rate
their products in MPH wind loading do they mean constant wind
or wind gusts??

For instance what would a tower rated at 20 Sq Ft. in 60 MPH winds
really mean??  Is it safe in 60 MPH winds with some gusts to 70 MPH ???

Thanks for any info...

73,
