[TowerTalk] Tower Collapse - New Kensington, PA @ K3MJW

[Charles Mills]

Tower had been up a long time.  Would still be there if the guy wire hadn't
been compromised.

It was an old tower - probably as old as the club itself and we're
celebrating our 50th anniversary this year.  Whether it was spec'd for that
or not is a mystery.  We got almost 50 good years out of it though.
