[TowerTalk] question for the group

[n8de at thepoint.net]

What must be considered is NOT the weight of the antennas, but the  
wind load and torque load.
Tailtwister will turn the whole thing with no problem.
What is the windload of the antennas and the tower rating?  Those are  
what should concern you.

Good luck .. I have a lot of those self-supporting aluminum towers.   
They perform well when antenna load ratings are less than the tower  
specs.
