I am in the exact same situation- 95' tower that I plan on using to suspend
wire elements from the top of the tower.
I assume THERE WILL BE interaction between the 4SQ and the tower. What I have
been wondering is how mechanically reliable this setup is compared to elements
made of aluminum tubing. Any thoughts on this?
In addition, I have been wondering if the wire will stretch over time thereby
changing the resonant frequency of the elements. Perhaps CAT5 might be a better
option for the elements as it is less likely to stretch?
