Greetings -
I'm in the wireless internet business, and I'm looking to build a portable
trailer for doing remote testing, surveys, etc.
Something similar to:

I have a US tower crank up right now, and was thinking of moving it to a
trailer. It's big and heavy though.
Anybody know of a good source for pneumatic masts, in the 30 to 50 foot
range? Any suggestions or comments most welcome.
BTW - I do quite a bit of tower climbing, and I dont have a amateur radio
license, but I love this list. Great source of info. A company from out
of town had an incident a few weeks ago, where a man was riding the line
down, when his sling broke. He had a decender, and was caught on the fall
line, but wound up dangling for about a half an hour untill they could re-
rig to get him down. I caught the article on the older gentleman who had
to be rescued from his tower... safety has been a pretty interesting topic
around our shop lately (I'm the only one who climbs though.)
Thanks guys...
Troy
