[TowerTalk] Fwd: Advice on Old TV Antenna Tower

[HansLG at aol.com]

I was told that aluminum towers are more springy than steel towers. Mine is 
 an aluminum, guyed though. I still experience the vibration when I am in 
between  the ground and the guy point. Was very scary the first time I 
climbed it but am  use to it now.
 
I believe the "Q" value of aluminum is higher than steel. Therefore the  
aluminum tower vibrate more than steel towers when you climb them. 
 
Any takers?

My 60'  Universal Aluminum tower used to move when I climbed it.  It  seemed
like a lot of movement but as Jim said it probably was not. I sort  of got
use to the movement and never had an issue.
