[TowerTalk] 180', homebrew tower...1980? Anybody remember?

[Arthur Trampler]

Hi All,

Just wondering if any of you remember and know what became of a homebrew 
tower that was on the cover of QST somewhere in the 1980-1982 period.

I think it was in Michigan, and it was made of pipe.  The base was 120 feet 
tall, tapered, with a platform for the chain driven rotator/ball-bearing 
support and then the top of that section was at 120' with a thrust bearing.

Inside was a straight tower, about 3' on a side, 80' long (60' projecting 
above the base).

If I recall, I saw the owner's kid trying to sell it on Ebay a few years 
ago.  Just wondering if anybody knows if something good became of it.
