I spent 2 weekends at heights up to 1350 ft. on what was at one time the tallest broadcast tower in the world (1450 ft. then).

Did it move much? I've done some mountain climbing and
didn't think a tower would be any big thing. Then I got up
one that was only a couple hundred feet. Dang thing swayed
like crazy! I felt like a rat on a fishing pole! Scared the
crap out of me.

No, it was pretty stable. Never worried about that.

But a few years later they had an ice storm that almost brought it down. Started to shed the ice and developed an oscillation that came close to destroying it.
