[TowerTalk] Tower Conundrum

[Dave NØRQ]

I won't argue with the specs or bang for the buck, but I don't understand
the statement about Trylon and "8 ft. pipe".  Maybe they've changed
something, but my Trylon did not have any "pipe" -- just 8  8-foot
sections, along with the 3 leg base (stubs) that go in the concrete.
My T600-64' is 64' tall -- or at least 62', accounting for overlap
where the sections join.

If I had it to do over again, I would be giving both Trylon an ANW
a serious look...
