[TowerTalk] Advice on Tower

[Mark Robinson]

Hi Ron,

I went through the same heart burn as you living in Wake Co, North Carolina. 
I have seen some helacious storms come through here in the last 11 years 
that I have been here. I am planning on a design that can withstand 90mph if 
not 100mph. I would advise on a stronger tower or else I would keep the 
tower low unless I was at home.

I would always lower the tower when not at the home QTH. If this is a pain 
and as I figured it would be, then a stronger tower is called for.

That's my opinion.
