[TowerTalk] Re: Raising TV mast

[Chris BONDE]

Ralph:

Thanks for the info!  Unfortunately there is not too much info on the site, so I 
phoned them.

The young lady was helpful but not too technical,  "We do not say anything about 
guying, that is up to the customer".

30 ft was abt CA$60, 40ft $85, 50ft $104, before taxes and shipping (wt 25lb,35 and 
50 respectively.  I think that would be a good deal as some of the rails and exhaust 
pipe cost about the same and these appear to come with most of the fittings.

Any further comments?
