[TowerTalk] Wind Ratings

[Wilson Lamb]

“Most zoning ordinances stipulate a setback requirement for a tower.  Around here, the setback from the nearest property line must be equal to or greater than 75% of the total height of the tower.”

And what’s the sense of that?  Why isn’t the top 25% dangerous?  Actually, it’s likely the most dangerous.  It’s moving fastest and has that big ol’ antenna antenna on it.
