[TowerTalk] Which Tower

[Larry stowell]

I have a 75hd Aluma tower with a 4 el with 40/30 element. Its been up for 5 years with out a
problem. Its mounted with a "ground mount" which takes no concrete. Its motorized for up and sown
and manual tilt over. I also have a hinge on the mast so I don't need even a step ladder to maintain
the antenna.

Would like your input, have a new SteppIR 3-elem on the way, going to install a new tower, selection
looks like either a U.S. Tower MA-550 telescoping 55ft (Rated for 9sq' at 70mph) with the tilt-over
kit or a Heights Tower 48' telescoping (rated 12sq' at 80mph) with also the tilt-over kit. Home in a
70mph rated area.

I am concerned about the swaying on the MA-550 as compared to the typical triangle style Heights
tower.  Any comments will be appreciated.

Will be placing an order 12-1-07, can't get the antenna up until sometime in March. (long story -
HI)
