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

[Mark Heller]

Dick and Pete:

If lightening is part of your weather structure... the Valcom is NOT 
advised.

While it works in a small footprint, the manufacturer has many problems, 
associated with lightening damaging the internal wire / coil.

I tried to contact them, earlier this year, and they were not enthused 
about a 
possible Wisconsin customer.... and I'm betting there's more electrical
storms in Florida.

Pete,

You didn't mention frequency. If it is a single stick, take a look at
Valcom www.valcom-guelph.com.

They manufacture a 75 ft fiberglass antenna that will withstand hurricanes.

Hi everyone-

I was wondering if people have favorites on brands of short sturdy 
towers. I have to put a tower up that is about 110 feet in southern 
florida. It has to be self supporting and be rated to withstand 110 
MPH winds. Anyone got any that they think are best for the job?

thanks,
pete tridish
