[TowerTalk] Hy-Gain Towers

[Rich L. Boyd]

Even when the factory bases were still available a local, W3IO, opted to 
have one made at a local metal shop, it being considerably less 
expensive.  The result was very nice.  He can probably give you info on 
the shop, etc.  Phone him at 703-641-0719.  Ask for Burt.
