[TowerTalk] Anyone in South Florida need a mast?

[Mickey Baker]

Hi, Dick,

Where do you suggest I find tubing of suitable strength for 140MPH/3
second, 22 square foot antenna load?  Schedule 80 pipe isn't strong
enough, according to my calculation. Have you found a solution to this
that I'm not aware of?

I haven't purchased this yet, and am open to ideas.

What would you do, rather than spend money on 1026 tubing and galvanizing?

Thanks for your constructive comments,

73,

Mickey N4MB
