Never a good assumption to base actual knowledge on "credentials," which 
only mean that he passed an exam, perhaps several decades ago, often 
right after finishing college, and usually emphasizing the discipline 
that he hope to practice. If he's a PE practicing Structural 
Engineering, which is the discipline most likely to be designing tower 
installations, there's a good chance his knowledge of EE is limited to 
nothing more than common practice.

Jim Lux, W6RMK, has given us the real science on the topic. Why are we 
still talking about it?
