Good question and I wondered the same thing. Firstly not "implying" that at all. It comes down to mass and surface area. The problem with steel, iron, etc. is when you have a lot of RF current over a small area like a narrow piece of steel strap or a steel nut, bolt and washer. The surface area of a tower is so big that it doesn't present the same amount of problem. 73 Rob K5UJ _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
