have just moved and would like to do the same before  erecting
a used tower I bought second hand it will be at forty feet here as  well.


    A call to your local building department will  probably turn up the info. 
Also, _www.championradio.com_ (http://www.championradio.com)  under "Tech  
Notes" lists the TIA-222 windspeed ratings for all 3076 counties in the  
country. 

>  The new location is on the top of a hill with  surrounding land slopping 
downward for approx 10 Miles and is 1217 feet above  sea
level according to Google Earth's numbers. So I am expecting some good  
results from the tower.



        Woo woo! Sounds great. Have  fun!
