[TowerTalk] Planning tool query

[David Gilbert]

PowerPoint should work fine.  It isn't exact (and neither will anything 
else be when you take into account antenna elements blowing in the 
wind), but it would easily be accurate enough for what you want.  Just 
use the ruler scales to proportion your tower/guys/antennas and move 
them around until you get what you want.
