4 homebrew HyGain Hytowers made from 3 sections of Rohn 25 and some oil 
filled Nylon insulators and a 30' stinger.  I can supply details if needed. 
No guys required.  If you don't want to build them, buy them from MFJ.

> 4. prefer only 1 guy level, but will do 2 if necessary.
> 5. prefer to stand up complete, but will climb to add top section(s) if

> 6. prefer something that can be delivered to here, truck delivery is not a
