[TowerTalk] Telex-Hygain 52SS received as gift

[Turner, Bob]

Just a guess...

The 2m beam sounds like an old Cushcraft with the Trigonal reflector.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Telex-Hygain 52SS received as gift

I was just given a Telex-Hygain 52 foot self-supporting crankup tower.
Had to cut two feet off the top to get around a kink, and had the top
plate and rotater baseplate welded and reinstalled. It's stored for the
moment while I try to figure out how big a hole I need to dig. I don't
know the company's status at this point, was told they're out of
business, but found a Hy-Gain site on the web which didn't show this
tower. I think I need a manual, but if I just knew the specifications
for installing it, that would be enough.
 
It came with a Telex beam.  I haven't figured out what model it is, but
the boom is 3" aluminum tube, and it had at least five elements with
one, the reflector, broken in half. The package also included a
heavy-duty black rotator I was told is a Tail Twister, and a two-meter
beam with sixteen director elements, one broken in half, and a
three-element reflector arrayed in T-fashion behind the driven element.
 
I've never installed a tower before, so my ignorance is vast. Help?
