[TowerTalk] US Tower install - help request

[Jack Parker]

Hmmm...my limited experience with US Tower has been quite the opposite. In
responding to requests for documentation and identifying an older tower
(turned out to be an early cut-rod TX-455) they have been quite helpful.
As to the veracity of their documentation, I cannot say since I have yet to
dig the hole. Hopefully the information I have in hand will be accurate.

Good luck!
