>I have an opportunity to purchase either a Andrews 340' M46 tower or
an Advanced 330' tower. I wondered if anyone in the group has had any
information on either of these towers that would help me with my
decision.
Thanks

Hi Paul;

The Andrews M36 series of towers are rated to 400' , guyed, and classifed as 
"Light Microwave" in my line of work (I am a PE, microwave system QA 
consulting engineer). The face width is 36" using either single diagonal or 
cross-bracing. Each section is 20' long. The tower legs are angular and 
formed with steel plate, very heavy duty by ham standards.. They can handle a 
cellular platform an up to four 8 ft dishes. One of the faces of the tower 
has integrated supports for feedlines. Thats about all I have on it, as I see 
mostly the larger stuff. (Its the second smallest tower in their line).

73,
