Re: [TowerTalk] antenna/mast height above tower

[Floyd Rodgers <kc5qbc@swbell.net>]

The towers are designed for a load at a distance from the base. For us simple 
minded folks, the load is force times distance (to the base). The difference in 
51' or 50'-1" from the base makes dang little change in the stress loads guys. 
If loading is that critical that 11" makes a failure, you simply don't have 
enough saftey margin in the design......
