[Tom Sneden, K6VCR]

This is a great tower for anyone with CCR's or picky neighbors. 
 
This is a US Tower MA-770 that was special ordered from the factory to nest
at
12ft with an extended length of 38ft. There is no specification listed for
wind
loading but a conservative estimate places it at 50% greater than the full
size
MA-770. 
 
This package includes the tower, MARB free standing rotor base, MAF raising
fixture, MDP-750 1HP motor drive unit, coax arms and tail twister rotor with
digital control box and a 5ft mast.
The tower is 15 years old with only one owner and has spent its whole life
in San Diego.
This is a complete package, all you need to do is plant it.
The tower is down and located in San Diego, transportation can be discussed.
The package price is $1,800.00.
