US Tower and others make a nice crank up pole that would work very
well. How about a house bracketed Rohn 25 or 45?

Kelley,
I have no experience with but, have always been intrigued by
Universal Towers aluminum tower. They seem like a practical solution for the
small lot little pistol station. The price seem reasonable too.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Looking for tower advice
I recently moved to an new QTH. My yard is much smaller than my previous
yard (2.5 acres versus about .3 acres). I've currently got an all-band
dipole up but I've been thinking about a small tower. I've had towers at
previous QTH's, but I'm looking for something smaller and easier to work
with.
The city I live in restricts amateur towers to a maximum of 40 feet
(somewhere around 30 feet would be good). Ideally, I'm looking for a setup
that lets me work on antennas from the ground. I'm looking at installing a
small tri-band beam (perhaps something like a Cushcraft A3S), rotor, a
vhf/uhf vertical, and an inverted V wire antenna. It would have to be
self-supporting (there's no room for guy wires).
Something used is probably more inline with my budget.
Any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, dos, don'ts...
Thanks,
Kelley w0rk
