Just to set the record straight:  I happen to have a 106' tower
(HDX5106) and I am also a regular at Visalia.  They used to
use a 106' trailer mounted tower for the convention station.
It definitely wasn't an HDX5106.  It was more like a TX4106
or maybe even a TX3106, where the number after the X denotes
the top section size.  In recent years at the new downtown
location, they have set up smaller trailer towers.  I was
always surprised that they got away with the 106 foot tower
at the old location.  I'm thinking that the city tolerated
it due to the money being brought in to the city.  I don't
remember any Visalia weekend being windy fortunately.
