Ernie and I will talk briefly about tower joint rotation and its affect on TV antenna performance.

The new G Tower Standard will be released this year, and Ernie will provide an update on this new standard and the differences between this standard and the current F Tower Standard. Ernie will also provide an update on the new tower construction standard which will replace the current gin pole standard.
