Which begs the question for you Trylon dealers on the reflector:

For folks desiring an alternative to Rohn in the guyed tower market, what is availability and cost of the Trylon 1500, 1800, 2400, 3000 series of towers?  Given the popularity and utility of the AB-105 surplus towers there has to be a market for the 1800 and 2400 towers.

It appears from the Trylon web site that there are two versions of the above towers. One looks to be erector set type and the other welded.  

BTW, the series # looks to represent the face size.  e.g. the 2400 series has a 24 inch face while the 1800 has an 18" face (which is approximate to Rohn 45/55).

Cheers,
