[TowerTalk] Crank Up Towers

Fri Dec 23 23:23:15 EST 2005

Win - the tower that was damaged in the 70MPH wind, what antenna(s), mast type/length, etc. did you have on it? It would be nice to know more about it, since some of us are looking at buying towers and would like to know what kind of experiences you had with different ones. Might want to go with something bigger than what you used, depending on what it was and what you had installed on it.

Thanks,
Larry
