[TowerTalk] Homebrew towers

[K7GCO@aol.com]

 >    There have been several excellent homebrew tower articles over the 
years.
  In the early 70's there was an article by a W5 on building a 70 foot crank
  up (QST).  In the mid 70;s W0SYK showed how to roll your own 100 foot big 
  bertha.  Had a compete list of tubing required. (IT cost $1600 then just 
for 
  materials). You had to be an expert welder to proceed or hire one.  (HAM 
radio or 
  73).  Recently K4IHP showed how to build your own mast to hold a tri-
  bander (QST late 90's).

   Does anyone know the exact issues of this material.  I'd like to try the 
Big Bertha myself.
