[TowerTalk] Which tower?

[Don Havlicek]

Alan,
Investigate the Universal Aluminum towers.
I believe you will find they have a very heavy duty tower in the height 
and windload you mention.
Over a long period, the maintainence will be minimal, and they are very 
easy to climb.  [have 4 of them here, though only two up right now]
