US Tower had a huge price increase recently.  You might want to look at other alternatives that might be less expensive or keep your eyes on Craigs list etc. Unless money is not an issue.

At 53, I have little desire to climb my tower anymore and wished I had saved a bit longer for a crankup.

I asked earlier about Rohn unguyed tower height and really appreciate all the

I have come to the realization that at 70 yrs old, I really don’t want to be 
climbing towers any more. Combined with the fact that I live in an exposed area with 
high winds at times.

My ideal antenna height would be between 35-40 ft.   With the ability to crank 
down to 20 or so height in storms and wind. Being able to tilt over and service 
my antenna would be great.

Although very spendy, I have been looking at the US Tower MA-40 with the tiltover base 
and rotor base. I’m not sure if a person could get the tiltover base and still 
mount the rotor on the top mast.

I would appreciate getting any opinions of this tower from people who have used 
them. I would have a Mosley TA-33 JR for an antenna.

Also, does the tower rattle back and forth in the wind?

Thanks so much,

Terry de N7TB
