Keith there was an article that appeared in QST in March of 1963 titled
The Paul Bunyan Whip, with a subsequent article which appeared in a
later issue.
The article describes a 60 foot unguyed tilt-over mast that originally
supported a 3 elem Hy-Gain beam for many years and then after a
modification a Hy-Gain TH6DXX. Which as you know is a rather large beam.
I have copies of copies and would be willing to copy what I have and
send them to you if you would be willing to send me a SASE. Old issues
of QST have been available on CD rom for several years maybe someone
near you has a set and can get you the article.

Subject: [TowerTalk] design for a 30ft 3 section crankup needed
Hello to the list, just joined.
I want to make a 30ft approx 3 section crank up, light duty tower to put
my Spiderbeam on.
I dont need tilt over but would like a 3 section so I can bring it down
to about 12 ft to allow access to work on it.
I think Tennamast in the UK made something like it about 20 yrs ago but
theres nothing in 3 sections on their site anymore.
Does anyone have drawings to achieve this sort of tower please. I would
envisage the botton section being square and about 3.5" section, the
middle being about 3" sq and the top perhaps 2" round section. I can guy
the tower or it can be self supporting. If anyone can point me to some
drawings or sketches or similar info ,
even perhaps a commercial version I would be greatful.
Living in Western Australia there aren't to many sources of commercial
towers !!
Thanks and 73
