[TowerTalk] Tower Identification

[Reicher, James]

This tower looks like a BX tower.  Depending on the height, it should
handle any moderate sized beam, like an A3 or A4 with ease.  It looks a
bit rusted so you'll have to determine the extent of the corrosion and
repair as necessary.

A friend here recently purchased a home that has a free-standing tower
with
a TV antenna on top.  It needs to be removed.  Please take a look at
photos
on my web site:

Does anyone know if this tower could be used for a moderate HF antenna?
Judging by the rust it has been up a long time.  Would it be worth the
time
and trouble to refurbish?

Thanks for your comments.
