[TowerTalk] Fwd: Heights Towers Aluminum??

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

I am glad to get this information. The Height tower I have in my yard  just  
now is old. I noticed that some of the weld or the Z have opened  and was 
going  
to fix that before I put the tower up. Now I may get all  the welds inspected 
 
before I put it up. I looked at the welds before  and wondered if they were 
OK,  but as I am not an expert I thought they  were OK. The welds that brook 
were 
under high tention after the Z itself  bent at these places.

I have found that wire brushing reveals some of the hairline cracks that  
oxidation has covered up.  Also, check on the inside of the weld  joint.  I have 
discovered some hairlines there, that were not showing on  the outside of the 
joint.
