[TowerTalk] US Tower HDX-589HD? Now 689

[Rich Hallman - N7TR]

Just re-measured the tower....

37in on the bottom and 18 in top section.  Looks to be an HDX-689.  The
base plate was not a standard T-Plate either...but a large full plate
with 4 bolt holes per leg.

Explains why I had such a problem getting it off the truck with my
tractor when my other 589 came off no problem.

Re-cabling the tower, then up it goes when the weather is warmer with a
M2 4 El 40 Meter beam.

Thanks...

I have an HDX-589 up right now and the base section per face is around
30 inches.

 

I just bought what I thought was another HDX-589, but the base has a
face of 34-35 inches and was built with a 3 inch mast top plate and a
mid plate for another bearing.

 

Any ideas what this is?  It looks like a US Tower....just much bigger
section.  Has 5 sections as well.

 

Thanks...
