[TowerTalk] Crank up question

[Jack Markum]

Good morning,
    I have an opportunity to obtain a 50' crank-up self supporting foldover
tower.  It is made by Telex-Hygain and is a model 133.  I don't know much
about the specs. for this tower, other than physically it is in very good
shape.  It would be perfect for my situation as guys will be difficult in my
location, etc., but I do not know if it will be substantial enough to hold
what I wish to put on it.  I plan to have a Force 12 C4S, a set of stack-11
2 meter beams, and possibly a 2/440 vertical on top.  This will be rotated
with a Yaesu 1000SDX rotor.  I do not know how the rotor situation would
work with a top section that small, if at all.

Any specs that could be provided about this tower would be greatly
appreciated.  As I said, I don't know if this tower will even come close to
handling this or not, so I am asking the experts!!

Best 73,
Jack Markum  N5DUW
