Yeah, I think my frustration with this in the past was that what I really wanted to know was "how many sq feet of antenna can I put on this pole", but the sources are often more technical than that. Or if they've presented a rule of thumb it's more about size of strand not size of antenna.
I think we eventually arrived at the idea that a class 3 pole could carry more antenna than we could realistically fit on it, so we bought class 3 and didn't worry about it anymore. If the pole already has wireline utilities on it, then engineering the load is part of the attachment application process and we're paying for that whether the load is a wire or an antenna so figuring that out is built in to the process. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Chuck McCown via AF Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 7:48 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Cc: Chuck McCown <ch...@go-mtc.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Utility Pole Rating As I recall there is a chart or graph that boils it down to a class and length to wind load. I remember having to determine the load of my planned cable. The RUS had a great manual about it.
