[TowerTalk] AN Wireless

[David Gilbert]

That's a pretty ignorant comment.  I own an HD-70 tower and I have the 
pictures to prove it.

It is indeed a brute.  I'm actually afraid of heights, but that tower is 
so sturdy that as long as I'm strapped in with my full body harness and 
three straps I'm comfortable working up at the top. I've been up there 
in 60 mph winds and can barely feel any sway in the tower (with about 20 
sq ft of antenna at the top).  A local wireless ISP uses my tower and 
had to get an engineering study done on it to satisfy the local zoning 
people ... they came back and said that my tower was only 18% loaded.

Educate yourself and read the engineering study referenced by VE7RF.  
The folks who vouch for the AN Wireless towers aren't shills ... they 
just know more than you do.

By the way, my 70 foot HD-70 tower was installed per the recommended 
base at the time (2008).  It was spec'd at 9 ft by 9ft by 5ft, which 
works out to be right at 15 cubic yards of concrete.  Mine ended up 
slightly larger because of the nasty large rocks in my soil ... it's 
impossible to cut a clean hole here.
