[TowerTalk] Trylon STG tower info wanted

[Rob Frohne]

Hi Everyone,

I know this is an old thread, but I am looking at towers, and am
particularly impressed with the Trylon STG towers as well.  They appear
to be way stronger than the Rohn 65G, and they sell 5' sections that
weigh only 63 lbs, so that erection would be much easier, and perhaps
shipping less.  The wind load ratings look about twice as good as Rohn
65G, and the price is $142 for a 5' stick, or $288 for a 10 footer.
Does anyone have any experience with these towers?  

Here is a link to the catalog section on the STG tower.
