Thanks Brian,
Some good ideas that hadn't occurred to me previously about stacking. Got to
check the tower specs again since I entertained the thought of stacking a
second tribander. I had actually thought of a second Hazer since I have an
extra one available but would have to attach the track since it a H-7
Hazer.
For turnbuckles, I wonder if "forked" type is the same as "jaw" type? I
guess it has a clevis pin across the "U".
Thank you once more for new ideas.
