Thanks to all that responded to my inquiry especially G3VBL who got me
in contact with Hal the former ower of the company. For those
interested it is the tower listed on QTH.com and no I havent bought it
was just trying to get some information on it.
The story told regarding the tower actually checks out but not quite as
being told told through the generations. Western Electronics did have a
distributor in California about 30 years ago but the antenna was not
made for a US company. So the antenna has been sitting for at least 30
years and would need a number of replacement parts before being used.
It is also quite a bit smaller in load acceptance than the LM-470 as a
free standing tower.
Thanks again
Mike/aj9c
