[TowerTalk] buying new tower

[Jerry Keller]

Bob...I have 5 sections (40') of Heights aluminum and no problems at all.
Maybe it's that Force 12 beam that's the problem.  Take that thing off and
put on a SteppIR yagi and it will "sing" like mine does, rather than
"clang"... ;-)...

Seriously, has any determination been made as to what is causing the
"clanging"?  Are the bolt holes elongated?  When the tower was up, did it
sway noticably in the wind?

Mike,

I have been fighting my Heights Tower since January now. It's a 72' plus
tilt over. It clangs badly at every joint. I have written endless emails,
and no repairs forthcoming, although the owner of the company said he would
"try" to make out some weekend to take a look. Very frustrating. So...I
would shy away from Heights till they get their act together, or at least
fix this tower. Anybody interested in a very noisy self-support tower that
cost me $10,000 to complete? Its not doing me any good tilted over with my
Force 12 beam a few feet off the ground.

73,

Bob Redoutey, N5KF

Hello to all, I am going to replace my 35' tower that I bought used and put
up something new.  My only issue is I cannot decide what tower I should go
with.  Can anyone give me advice on which brands to stay away from- thanks
