I am reviewing the engineering calculations for a Triex LM 354 tower, a paper copy of which is signed and sealed by a Civll Engineer. The 19 page doc, gives the uninitiated a small, insight into the
-- That would be a good question for Karl Tasjian. On his web site price list, he lists 1/4" stainless lift cables for the LM237 and LM470, but not the LM354. Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ . ______

Please humor me. This reminds me of pushing a car uphill with a rope. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather St

Al...I replied to another email earlier tonight with an explanation of what happened at my QTH when one of the winch cables broke. I hope I was clear, if not let me know what blanks to fill in. I am
