Whisper 175 Comments [RE-wrenches]

[William Bryce]

David

Our National Weather Service average for the Great Falls area is 12.5 
But we commonly get days with winds blowing 30 to 40 mph with gusts to 
60-70mph.  The Whisper did not do well in heavy winds above 30mph for  
days at a time.  The new wind maps of our state show our area 14.5 to 
16.8 mph see www.windmaps.org.  On the days when we had under 20 mph 
winds the Whisper 175 was  great, very quiet, and on the high end (High 
Wind) produced more than it's rated output.
