  Ed,
 I recieved my US Tower model HDX-589MDP yesterday. 89 foot and motorized,
It is very well built (I was a certified welder for 7 years). I ordered
from US because of price and they promised a delivery date of 4 months,
altho Tri-ex was $2000.00 more for there 86 footer, they promised delievery
in 2 months. US Tower took 6 months to deliever! I got nothing but LIES
from US Towers! Finally while talking to Bruce from US Towers, I mentioned
to him this wouldnt look real good if i was to post this via the internet,
and when he saw i was fit to be tied, and ready to cancel the order did he
deliever!!!! He knew He had me by the b****  because the base was sitting
in the ground for four months. The base is another story, It took two
months to get here,they promised it in 30 days....If I had to do it over
again I might buy a Tri-ex. I would not have ordered it through AES, I
would have greased Bruce palm, payed him CASH, He doesnt recieve any money
from AES till he delievers...So who do you think gets there towers first?
The guy that pays CASH! I own three companies, I would be out of biz if I
ran my companies like this....Anyways you wanted some feed back, thats my 2
cents.....The good news is I should be tearing down my fence tomorrow to
get the tower in the back yard and should have my first antenna (FORCE 3el
on 7 mhz, who i had no problems with in ordering and delievery) up by the
end of the week at 110 foot! And then work down from there :)  Thats the
best i can do on my city lot!
