[TowerTalk] tall crank-up tower post?

[W7CE]

K7ZV has one of them with a 3el 80M yagi on it.  They're 130' tall.  I asked 
Bruce at US Towers about them last year at the Visalia DX Convention.  He 
seemed more than willing to make another one for about $65K.  If I win the 
lottery, I'm ordering one the very next day.

73,
Clay  W7CE
