[TowerTalk] AN Structures towers

[David Gilbert]

I put up an AN Wireless HD-70 in 2008 and it is a brute of a tower. I've 
been strapped to the top of it in 60 mph wind gusts with two relatively 
large Optibeam antennas on top of it and felt perfectly safe ... very 
little motion.  You can see pictures of the assembly starting at

http://ab7e.com/AB7E_Tower_Page_1.html

The original AN Wireless website included links to many of their tower 
installations around the world.  Some included pictures of the assembly 
process.  The new website no longer has them, but the Internet Wayback 
Machine has them archived at

Hope this helps.
