[TowerTalk] Heights pre-1995 Aluminum Tower

[David Thompson]

Amateur Electronic Supply (AES) catalogs in the 1980's and 1990's had a lot 
of info on heights towers.  There were a number of hams around Atlanta that 
had the 80 to 100 foot towers.  The consensus is that the towers were 
somewhat over rated.  But only one tower blew down that I remember. Belonged 
to WB4ECE/N4YD (SK).

Great pictures of all the towers, specs, packages, even the screw operated 
hinged base.  I personal saw the towers but not the base.

AES has carried extensive information on other aluminum towers and US Towers 
over the years, too.

Sorry my copies are in storage.
