[TowerTalk] Crankup Towers

Once again I am becoming interested in obtaining a new quality crankup 
tower from a stable reputable supplier, but it seems not to be so easy 
to find such a thing. Is Tri-ex (or Tri-com?) finished in the crankup 
tower business? Will-Burt bought Tri-ex but the Will-Burt site now has 
no mention of Tri-com fixed towers. First Call Communications sold US 
Tower for a long time, then Tri-ex for a short time, and now K2QBV and 
First Call seem to have vanished. Hy-gain is now owned by MFJ but seems 
to get pretty low-key exposure on the so-called Hy-gain website. Is US 
Tower the only crankup left with a fairly long stable history as a company?

I realize I've been out of the loop, so can somebody give me an 
up-to-date lesson on current crankup tower availability? Or point me in 
the right direction if this is an old subject?

Thanks,
Murray
