I put up an AN Wireless HD-70 in 2008 and it is a brute of a tower. I've
been strapped to the top of it in 60 mph wind gusts with two relatively
large Optibeam antennas on top of it and felt perfectly safe ... very
little motion. You can see pictures of the assembly starting at
http://ab7e.com/AB7E_Tower_Page_1.html
The original AN Wireless website included links to many of their tower
installations around the world. Some included pictures of the assembly
process. The new website no longer has them, but the Internet Wayback
Machine has them archived at

Hope this helps.

I would like to add my recommendation to the others. I have an AN Wireless 80HD
for more than 7 years. Looks as good as new. I installed mine as Glenn did,
section by section and ultimately erected by crane. I can not see anything that
could be improved in a self standing tower.Howard..K2HK

My HD-80 is from before the name change from AN Wireless. It's a great
tower. Quality components and good service. The climbing pegs and
safety line are a must and they work well for me. It's very stable
when working at the top even with 14 ft of mast and antennas above the
top plate.
I purchased mine in pieces to save on shipping. It came completely
broken down except the top section. I assembled it on the ground into 2
40 ft pieces and installed it with a crane.

I just recently purchased a second side mount from the new owner and he
was very responsive and helpful for a relatively low dollar accessory.
Hope that helps.

Donna, rather than have private messages about the towers, I'm sure many of us
would appreciate seeing the replies so we can consider these, as well. I'm
looking for a tower for my place, and have been considering one of these.
Thanks!
