[TowerTalk] Non-metallic towers and guy wires

[Daly, Greg TQO]

In the now days, trees grow tall and straight.... Large Douglas Fir trees
are cut every day in Oregon to make very high quality utility poles, that
last for many years..... we would be glad to sell you all you want... we'll
grow more... if you like, we'll even soak it in creosote for you.... and if
you just got to have guys, there's always hemp, for high quality rope....
our other big cash crop ;-)
