[TowerTalk] Antenna & Tower Wind Load Ratings

[Kurt Andress]

John,
I receive the full TT digest every day......
I am running so hard and fast to try to take care of those that think 
they might need a part of what I do, I rarely have the luxury to try to 
read and digest it all!
I will not go away, because no one yet has been able to chase me off of 
here.....I simply have very limited time to participate with all that 
flys by here.
I took an exceptional amount of time off from real work for real people 
that are expecting me to deliver what they need, just to comment about 
this subject......that was simply because the opportunity to interject 
what I know about it presented itself again, like I have done on this 
subject several times over a few decades.
When, people don't want to listen to my sound claims about things that 
are absolutely not right, or want to take over my technically correct 
statements, by interjecting their jungle knowledge, I realize that I am 
squandering a finite resource, which is my available bandwidth! I need 
to direct that to the things that are most productive and beneficial for 
my enterprise and my clients.....
I wish all the very best with doing what they think!
I simply say what I think, and can stand technically and analytically 
behind it!......what anyone does with that is not up to me ;-)
I expect that in around 5-10 years, this huge problem will not have been 
resolved, and I'll find another opportunity to spend too much time 
saying it yet again ;-)
73, Kurt, K7NV
