[CRTech] Re: bird counting

For a typical 10:1 ratio on SS towers, it would be 200' at the base.
That height would make a square tower able to be more stable than a
triangular one, but still that would be less than one acre of land.

 Wow, I wonder how much that study cost us...
 Maybe all tall, guyed, towers should be replaced with self-supported
towers...
 
 I wonder how much land a 2000' seld-supported tower would require...

  The Georgia Association of Broadcasters sent us info on the NPRM for bird
mortality. Here are two astute observations in the report: 
 
 That all other things being equal, taller towers with lights tend to
represent more of a 
 hazard to birds than shorter, unlit towers; 
 
 That towers with guy wires create higher risks than self-supporting towers;
