Seems that everyone has forgotten the Aluminum replacement program at Texas
Towers. There is no need for all the hard work cleaning and polishing all
those grubby antenna elements. Replace with new ones and regain the new
antenna signal gains all the pride of owning a new antenna!
And, now is the perfect time for this considering the big 30% off sale
going on right now! See _www.texastowers.com_ (http://www.texastowers.com) and
clean up on the savings. In addition to the 30% discount, any order over
$2000 gets free shipping as well. Only Towertalk members will get the free
shipping so please mention this to the sales person when you order.
If you are not quite ready, place your order now for delivery anytime this
summer or fall. Get with your DX buddies to pool your order for free
shipping.
Some sizes are in short supply but replacement shipments are on order. Rain
checks will definitely be offered for any temporary out of stock size.
Happy polishing,
Gerald K5GW
retired CEO, Texas Towers

Ah, but don't they look pretty glimmering in the sun...if you don't have
any neighbors.
I've always found the signals are louder with a new shiny antenna. It
allows the RF to slip off better.
