Hey Guys, Thanks for all the responses on how to get my rotor out of the tower. I may not get back to it for a few days due to some crappy weather and Im sore from spending about 5hrs up on two tower
Ive used em and found them to be very good. I was putting up 80 ft of rohn ssv. Mark W0NCL _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk ma
Doesnt that eliminate about 75% of the choices though? Sounds like a good reason not to use a tower with tubular members. Alan NV8A _______________________________________________ ___________________
I would bet the motivation here is to make a buck(duh), they could care less whether or not the topic was towers or canopeners. Towers looked like a way to sensationalize their marketing motivation i

Hello Everyone, I guess since its about 100 degrees at my qth now I should consider swapping out a rotor. I have a worm drive hallicrafters I want to put up in my rohn ssv tower. The rotor secures to
Have you tried this guy? _http://www.tashtowers.com/_ (http://www.tashtowers.com/) This guy sells the old Triex towers, which is where the guys from Hygain came from and started their line of towers.
Does www.tashtowers.com still have manuals?? He sells the triex stuff now. 73 Mark W0NCL Hi Charles, I also have a used Tri-Ex HZE-354 motorized crank-up tower but no manual. Do you have one? I need
Hello, Does anyone have an extra control box sitting around for one of the Hallicrafters/Radio Industries rotors? Thinking I may have a bad rotation (3PDT) switch in mine. Thanks and 73 Mark W0NCL __

Hi Bill, Im running the alfaspid in my LM470 crankup, fits nice and works perfect, its turning a Hygain 205ca. Im also using another alfaspid(on a free standing tower) to turn about the same size ant
