[TowerTalk] Aluminum mast

[Telegrapher9 at aol.com]

Dave,

rather than plan for graceful mast failure we can design for no failure. 
Designing these things is not difficult and beats worrying everytime a heavy wind 
comes up. I had a rather flimsy wooden mast and it would keep me up during 
wind storms. I built is light so that if (when) it came down it wouldn't damage 
the house. But with metal masts I have the numbers to calculate things and can 
sleep better. 73.
