When I bought my aluminum tubing from Texas Towers, they had a computer program that calculated and specified all of the above. http://www.texastowers.com Cool! Does it calculate the size to use based on expected wind speed? I looked around on their web site and didn't find a calculator so it must be something they do with you on the phone? I'll call 'em Monday and see what they have to say. Thanks for the tip! -- 73, Hank |

They ran the program for me while I was standing there in the lobby wondering what size to buy. I requested a self-supporting 33 ft monopole rated at 75 mph but changed my mind when I found out what that required - more than double the cost of a guyed monopole. Also building it out of six foot sections instead of 12 foot sections reduced the cost considerably. ME's probably understand why but, as a EE, I was surprised. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
