[Towertalk] Information on Towers...WHOOPS, correction!

[BobK8IA@aol.com]

>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

Sorry Paul;

My last post was for the Andrews M36 series of towers and not the M46 like 
you requested. (Must be too early in the morning, sorry).

Ok, the M46 is rated to 500', guyed, 46" face width, all bolted construction, 
cross braced (X-fashion). It is classifed as "medium microwave" in the 
industry and I have seen this model with stacked space diversity dishes, 
multiple paths/directions,with as many as eight 8 -12 ft dishes so ham use is 
not a question. (I am sure it will handle more but thats a structural design 
detail to be computed on an individual basis). Its tower legs are angular and 
the sections are 20' long. It has integrated feedline supports, with the 
system rated for up to 24 per face. The supports are drilled for mounting 
standard Heliax and waveguide hangers.

73,
