The only place I have seen this tower rating for 70mph is on a
competitor's web site, http://www.firstcallcom.net, where it's
included in a table comparing it to Tri-ex towers. The figure
given is 12.3 sq. ft. at 70 mph.
The UBC rating varies with location. Your building permit dep't
can give you the requirements. For Yuma County, AZ it's
70 mph, Exposure C, Seismic Level 4.
