[TowerTalk] self supporting tower info needed

[Commtekman at aol.com]

Hello-    
I am new to the  list and would appreciate comment on an unassembled 
self-supporting tower that I  have. It came from Norton AFB and I believe it belonged 
to Western Union. It is  80' high, three legged triangular with about 13' 
between legs. It consists of  nine 25' sections with a single 5' section on top. 
Made of very heavy gauge  galvanized pipe with all pieces marked. I have a 
diagram that shows some detail  but would like to know if anyone has seen a tower 
like this or presently has a  photo of a tower like this, or presently has any 
info on one.
It appears to  be only missing the ladder sections. The 5' stub at the top 
was apparently used  for microwave dishes and also has a flat surface for 
mounting large VHF/UHF  antennas. I would like to know how the ladder attached and 
it would be helpful  to see a photo for reassembly.

Tnx for your help & time,
73 Bob  K6OSM
