Radio Antenna Towers

Im a ham radio radio operator and looking for a tower i may have found one but i want to make sure i have the right wind load the magazine says 4 Square ft wind load could some one clarify the meaning of that by telling me how much wind this can withstand thanks

If I understand the question correctly, the short answer is it can withstand an antenna with a four square feet wind load. You have a tower in mind that says it is rated for say 4 square feet of wind load and it should also say at 75 or 100MPH etc. either way, the antenna you will be installing will also have a wind load rating in Square feet. So first look at the antenna you want to install, look at the specs. I should say it has 2 square feet or 8 square feet etc. Then be sure to choose a tower with more than that. Rotors also are rated this way, so if you will install an antenna that requires a rotor, be sure the rotor you choose has a square foot wind load that is greater than that of the antenna. The question always starts with the antenna, hen everything else will need to have a higher wind load rating.

I have searched the net on interferences with RADAR when it comes to cell phones, the towers, communication antennas. I have yet to find any reputable sources I can take to court with me on a trial for speeding.
FYI ticket fines are very expensive...especially for a student. It is a fact cell phone transmissions (among others) do interfere with devices. I know because I have worked with valves in refineries that have radio antennas. These valves do funny things when people use cell phones around them. That is why nobody is allowed to use cell phones around these valves. I have also seen cell phones interfere with airplane instrumentation. This is the reason whenever people fly the captain asks people to turn off their cell phones.

Don't you think Joe Shyster the attorney has already tied that line? I grantee you he has and it didn't work. It's been proved time and time again an upheld in many courts of law. You can blow smoke at the Judge but he's heard it before.

Take it like a man--You did the crime, now pay the dime.

I was watching hazard pay and they showed a picture of the bottom of a radio antenna, it wasnt attached, it was 1400 Ft. tall. If you can give me a website or that episode on video on the internet i would be VERY happy. If you give me the best website withh good pix i will mark your answer as the best

thanks in advance

Here's a news article about the episode. The radio station's email and phone number are at the bottom, you could ask if you don't believe that it is attached to the ground. Good luck!

I work for a Telecommunications company in Honduras and we have been recently installing a GSM network. We have this great radio tower with AM radio antennas and were wondering if adding GSM antennas would cause interference between the two emissions. Please let us know and tell us why or why not.
Greetings from Honduras

AM frequency's run from 535 to 1705kHz, where as GSM is either 850/900/1800/1900 MHz. kHz vs MHz, both are different therefore would not cause any interference.
