That's a good point. I didn't think about flying objects breaking the
tower wires on the extenders. Every engineering solution has its down
side.

- Then you will appreciate this: after one of the major gulf coast
hurricanes,
- in the 70's, an engineer from Miami was hired to settle some tower
- destructions. One, which failed at about 80 feet and collapsed was
examined.
- The measurements on the damaged section that caused the failure
exactly
- matched the shape and mass of a cow which had been picked up and
hurled into
- the tower 80 feet over the ground. You can not designee for the
occasional
- flying cow.
