A small ex windmill tower has been installed recently at our clubstation DF0CG, www.df0cg.de

The basic tower is 24m high and a rotating steel pipe of 14m has
been added.
Later in the year a 4-element fullsize yagi will be installed.

I put some pictures of the installation on my picture-page:

Peter, very nice photos of a very heavy-duty tower.

Here in the USA when speaking of an old windmill tower we
usually mean a tower constructed from angle iron pieces.
Here is a link to a photo of these types of towers.  30ft and 40 ft
were the most common but they could be purchased to about
twice this height--although the taller ones were very rare.

You can still see these, often abandoned, at smaller farms in the
midwestern USA.
