[TowerTalk] Tower mast calculator

[Gene Smar]

TT:

     I just tried the tool with my antennas.  Be carefull!  Apparently the 
calcs don't tell you anything about your tower's limitations.  The calcs 
merely say that the DXE MAST will or will not fail at the given wind speeds; 
they tell you nothing about the survivability of the tower.  In other words, 
a big load may survive on a 3 inch DXE mast, but it might bring down a stack 
of Rohn 25 or a light-duty self-supporter.

     Caveat Amateur!
