for many years (12) I had a 420 on the top on a 78 foot tower in Florida the tower had 3 sets of guys cables on it.. it made it thought all the storms we for here but no ice as Florida has none. Just lots of wind. The worst all the lighting the tower had hit it in all the years it was up. But the 420 made it thought it all, is now on a tower up north and still working.
