[SBE] short tough broadcast towers built for florida hurricanes..

[R. V. Zeigler]

Pete,
You might want to look at Sabre. They make some good self supporters. I 
have one of their monopoles at 60' that takes ice well, and I know of a 
300' (approx.) self supporter in Ks. that is a state Dept. of 
Transportation tower with lots of antennas, some of which are for the 
Highway Patrol. They do not want that to go down in any weather, and it 
is built that way.
We do get serious thunderstorm winds in these areas, as well as high 
sustained winds. Tornado's do not count, but I would expect our monopole 
to handle an EF0 or EF1 with little difficulty, flying cows notwithstanding.
