Sense at last. I note the periodic return to this topic initially with
amusement, but eventually with annoyance. There is a prejudice on the
reflector against crank-up towers and some of this rubs off on
self-supporting towers..... after all it isn't guyed Rohn 25/45/55 so it
cannot be right.
To suggest that a sensibly guyed 'self-supporting' tower is less safe than
without the guys is risible......(as I said in my post of 18 April 2003!)
