Crankup with a separate electric winch for crank up/down and tilt would seem to offer a really good solution to N3HRT's question. US Tower and TriEx (Tash) offer 70' crankups that could fit within hi
To lower a Hazer or Razr on a guyed tower, the guys would have to be taken off at the bottom. The tram would travel with them inside it. Seems phillystran would be easier to deal with, providing the
You can install the guy wires at the top of the tower above the Hazer. Use a longer mast. Then you loosen two guy wires to lower the antenna. Once the antenna is lowered, you can re-install the two g
This idea is appealing; never seen one in person though. http://www.heightstowers.com/fold_over_kits.htm Chris KF7P You can install the guy wires at the top of the tower above the Hazer. Use a longer

Not true at all! Unfortunately, I think Heights still has the wrong idea on tower section lengths at 8 feet. Universal uses 'almost' the same size welding rig, but makes their tower sections 10 feet
I don't remember seeing any thing wrong with the tubing used. It was the welds that failed and they failed to stand behind the work. Still, remember that was over 30 years ago. Now I do have some old
Another solution is Alumatower. I have the 50 footer, and it weighs about 90 lbs or so. They also sell a tilt base, as well as trailers. I bought a boat trailer, and am fabricating brackets, etc to t
