[TowerTalk] 100 foot crank up tower.

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

No.  I's sure they weren't. Luso doesn't offer anything that looks like 
them
The ones I saw from Dayton a few years ago may have been Luso, but they 
looked more like highly polished car finishes and did not resemble what 
we normally see as towers. I've not seen anything from Luso that 
resembled them.

I talked about Luso, but theirs are very heavy galvanized versions of 
what we normally see. Impressive too!

Luso makes some very impressive towers as I described, but I thought I 
included links to Luso and the specific tower, but apparently not.

More money in concrete than the cost of most stations
