Thanks everyone, I have been talked out of aluminum (for about the 3rd time too.) I will use Rohn SCL instead. Does anyone know an alternate source for foot pegs for this tower? Rohn wants $150 per section for them, and I can't believe there isn't a cheaper way... Larry N8KU -- l o n g w i r e . c o m 90%CW + 10% PSK = 100% HF
