[TowerTalk] Homebrew freestanding mast

[Jan Erik Holm]

This brings back old memories. Back in 1970 I had a tower exactly
like this, was 65 feet tall and worked great. Very easy and cheap
to weld together, me and my dad made it out of scrap we picked up
at the local junk yard. I put a 2el spider Quad on top and worked
the world, was the first reel tower I ever had.
