[TowerTalk] Antenna location for hurricane

[Mike]

I would point the boom into the wind. Breaking the fiberglass tubes is going to be 
less expensive than replacing a boom. Of course the tape is homed.

But as has already been pointed out, the wind isn't going to be from a steady 
direction, so I really think all this is to give ourselves the feeling we did 
something to mitigate damage.

Could it be because the elements are fiberglass and more prone to flap like a bird if they are broadside into the wind? I am not aware if the company has given advice on this or not.    Any thoughts on this???
