[TowerTalk] Base info Sought

[William Wood]

Greetings Once Again
   I had a feeling I would get the idea from you guys that what I 
started digging out was too small.  Thanks for the quick response!!!  
I'm only half done with the first size, but I will definetly (SP) go the 
larger route.  I would expect the 6 or 7 foot by 6 or 7 foot would be 
more for the 50 foot free standing tower...   Rohn 25 that is,
   While I know you can go away, and forget the tower is cranked up, my 
tower will be down 80 to 90 percent of the time, as I live towards the 
top of a hill here in Wisconsin and while working on a quad a few years 
back, I worked a half a dozen states, while it was laying on a 6 foot 
wooden step ladder horizontally positioned and about 10 watts.
   I do not know the maker of the tower, but it does say on the plate 
you would mount your crank or motor,  'Weather Master'  It is made of 
one inch OD piping, with a foot between each of the three pipes.  There 
there are four sections that telescope, and I think I lied to ya, 
because I thought it was 37 foot, but on that name tag, it said 
'WM-33'.  All the rod that helps hold everything in place, is zig zagged 
up the sides, like you would expect it to be, with all three  sides of 
similar design, so you would not have climbing ability..   At least very 
easily...   : )
   There was no paper work with the tower, and while it is still 
unused,(it still has the shipping band straps on it to hold things 
firmly in place) it is years old, stored mainly in a shed, I got it last 
year or the year before, in trade for work done,  I did get the paper 
work with the quad, but that too was in trade for work done.
   Hope this info helps your ruminating, after talking to one of your 
members, I knew this was the place to ask questions...   wither they are 
dumb or not...   : )
