[TowerTalk] telephone poles

[Joe Brown]

I checked with our local power company / electrical contractors on this 
recently. They had 50 - 60 foot poles, free but you have to arrange to get 
them hauled to your home with someone other than the power company. Then 
found an electrical contractor that will plant the poles for $125 per hour.

I used a 45 foot pole w/ 7 feet in the ground for years with a 204BA on top, 
and worked fine, I would think you could go pretty heavy with the hardware on 
 top and get away with it.

Most all of our poles I am told are just about 40' here in Western New York
.  I am also told that there are contractors who work for the utility
company's who will install the pole for you.  I would be happy to learn more
on this idea    KB2HUK     John
