[TZ] From Rolf, Elevated radials

[Alan Alsobrook]

Hi Folks!
Thank you so much for all of your posts regarding my problem with grown 
vegetation and trees on the tower terrain.

I must agree that elevated radials are a good alternative, however I 
have a keepback for two motives:

1) The environment Dept is not open to any sweet talk nor begging or 
crying on the knees regarding cutting trees tops down.

2) Observing that the 8 degrees radial height in this case would be 
about 20 feet, terrain is irregular (10 ft ondulation) and many trees 
are reaching this height and others are grazing 10 to 3 ft under the 
radials.
I suppose this will create some serious instability of the system 
especially under rainy and windy conditions.

As we are forbidden to cut the vegetation, I guess this would rule out 
the elevated radials solution?
