Default Aluminum tubing for vertical antenna

When I bought my aluminum tubing from Texas Towers, they had
a computer program that calculated and specified all of the above.

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!

As I remember, you give them the wind speed and they give you
back the specifications. 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.
