Hello...

After 42 years of hamming, I'm finally moving to a new QTH where I can put 
up a tower and beam. But, since my knees are way too old for climbing, I'm 
considering a hazer for raising and lowering the antenna. My main activity 
is DX-ing, and I can afford only one tower.

The Glen Martin Engineering M-1850A package looks attractive. It contains 
five 10-foot sections of 18-inch face anodized aluminum tower, plus hazer 
assembly, kevlar guys, guy anchors, and tilt base assembly. Beam would 
probably be a F12 C3S.

Is this a good choice?  I have no previous experience with towers, so any 
and all advice, comments, or experience good/bad will be much appreciated.
