[TowerTalk] Another Universal Tower Raising question

[jparr at bgcfreedom.com]

I have put up a Universal Tower, and the thin aluminium didn't give me
much faith in its strength. Probably safer to stack the tower by hand,
which shouldn't be too bad, since the sections are lightweight.

As for the base, texastowers.com sells the steel base to set in the
footing.
