[TowerTalk] US Tower TX-455 Crank Up

[Joe - WDØM]

Hi Wayne,

Check out N6RK's web site:

I just used this approach to raise and lower my TX-455 - works like a 
champ.  I'll soon post a few pictures on my web page as well.  If you 
have a 1/2 inch drill, then about $6 in parts will get you where you 
want to go.
