[TowerTalk] EHS leads for Phillystran

[Ken K6MR]

Been there, done that.  In 2013 our wildfire had flame heights of over 100 feet.  Not much you can do to protect against that.  Just plan on tower replacement afterward.

For those who live in an area with wildfire danger, consider that the flame
lengths from tall grass and shrubs can be more than 15 feet, and
phillystran-melting temperatures above that. You will need your EHS to extend
above that level, before changing over to phillystran.
