Dennis,

 

I decided to offer the tower for free with pickup as we'll be moving
possibly as soon as June 1 depending on whether we wind up getting the house
we visited yesterday. I was hoping you could post it to the SCCC mailing
list. Here are the details:

 

US Towers HDX-555 Heavy Duty 55' Tower

*	Tower has three sections
*	Motorized raising and lowering (nests to about 25' tall)
*	Heavy Duty raising fixture (for tilt-over) with winch
*	Purchased in 2015; excellent condition and includes the bolts to
mount it to the base (you'll need to buy or fabricate a new one as mine is
cemented to the foundation unless you know how to remove it).
*	Heavy duty steel mast (1/8" wall) - I think it's 8'
*	Tilt Plate on mast allows you to lay tower completely over (no
ladders) with antenna fully accessible from ground level
*	I have all the documentation and engineering plans, etc.

 

I am offering the tower for free if you come and get it in Poway. The same
model tower is selling on QRZ.com for $4-5k! I will not piece it out, so
please don't ask.

 

PICKUP in POWAY, CA ONLY!!! You are responsible for moving it from the base
but I will provide assistance with logistics to a point.

The tower and motorized fixture weigh approximately 1100 lbs, so you will
need a crane or outdoor forklift unless you want to bring about 10 people or
take the sections apart.

 

If you're serious about it, please call or email.

Colorado? Wow! Work transfer? And now you have to start all over on FFMA.
Ugh.

 

Will watch for your new pictures and antenna descriptions.

Dennis,

 

No, you can remove it from the site. We are relocating to CO and will be
selling my US Towers HDX-555 with heavy duty raising fixture and Tilt Plate.


 

I will also have an HF multiband yagi and some other items. 

 

I'll send you a list when I get pictures, etc.

 

73,

Hi Eric,

 

Just checking for updates. Do you still have the antenna listed on the SCCC
website for sale?
