[TowerTalk] Tower for a DB36

[Al Williams]

Are you sure that the HDX572 "is the next step up?".
I have had both and while the HDX572 looked stronger, with large diameter 
tubing, the specs was rated less that the LM470 (according to my memory). 
The   LM470 tubing was changed a number of years ago to have stronger 
strength. Check it out and be sure to compare ratings at identical wind 
speeds.
