[TowerTalk] name that tower

Derek,

As one other fellow commented, this appears to be a Tristao design.
It's an oldie, and definitely a lightweight crankup.  And, from the  
pics,
it appears to be in decent shape.

Check the welds, where the cross bracing attaches to the tubes, to be
sure about that!   Painted over corrosion, or cracks,  wouldn't show  
in the pics.

This has obviously withstood the test of time, with a small tribander  
and VHF on top,
and is appropriate to that sort of load.    I would not load it more  
heavily than what
you see there, now.

In addition, a caveat.   Probably unnecessary, but I'll say it anyway:

DO NOT CLIMB ANY PORTION OF THIS THING!!!
Crankups are guillotines.
Save your fingers and toes.
Keep them out of the 'work envelope'.
