I have many AB-621G portable tower kits I purchased government surplus which
I tried to sell a few years ago for scrap aluminum prices. Understandably,
no one wanted to foot the shipping. They extend in 6 foot sections, to 50
feet, guyed of course, with the tubes 6 inches in diameter. I have the
complete tech orders which I found on the web someplace if you wish any
further details on that particular tower.

military masts info wanted
Looking for info on this series of mast sections.
I bought them at a swap meet and have no info except that the sections are
badged with the above model numbers.
Each is 9 feet long, plus an insert into the next section. They appear to
be designed to work together as a tapered mast.
Also looking for info on 5 foot sections of aluminum military mast in 3 inch
and 4 inch diameter. The 4 inch sections have "spline" connections. Also
obtained at a swap meet. These are something like the 2 inch ones you see
all the time, only larger.
All of these are the usual olive drab color.
Has anyone seen a PSI stress limit for whatever the aluminum alloy is that
they used for military masts?
