Try these guys
http://www.valcom.ca/welcome.html they make antennas for
coastal coast guard shore stations and military ship antennas I had one of
the 74 foot shore/vessal antennas it was a 74 feet high with a capasative
cap and worked like a hot dam. Mind you I got mine free for the taking at a
Canadian Coast Guard station that had replaced the antennas with something
bigger.
The Valcombs are used on board ships all over the world and on shore, I got
mine where the wind was blowing on average about the same as what you have
90% of the time, a typical shore station locations.
The one I had up weighed 700 lbs and required approx. 6 yard of cement and
it never even as much as moved when the wind blew. Sold mine to an amateur
in SD aka tornado alley and last I heard he lost his barn but the antenna
surived without even as much as a scratch.
Oh by the way it has a really low angle of radiation and worked fantastic
for DX, best antenna I've ever used, next to a rombic on the Artic Circle,
aka DEW LINE.

Hi,
It seems that my location boasts 60 to 110 mph winds on a regular
basis. I had put up a 1/4 wavelength 20m vertical with 1/8 wavelength
radials elevated at 7 feet, with rope guys... and the wind blew it
apart like so much tin foil!
Does anyone know of a decent commercial design for less than $1000 for
a free standing 30 to 40 foot support that can take this darn wind???
Thanks,
The Eternal Squire
