[TowerTalk] sched 80 mast

[Gene Smar]

VE9HF:

     I concur with Jim's recommendation of Trylon Titan towers.  I 
constructed and installed mine in 2001.  They are a sturdy, MEDIUM-DUTY 
(their web page says light duty, so Caveat Amateur) tower ideal for smaller 
HF or larger V/UHF arrays.  Their web site 
http://www.trylon.com/lightdutytowers/titanselfsupporttowers.asp also 
contains an app that will permit you to simulate the antenna loading of 
various antennas to determine which model you need for your proposed antenna 
complement.
