[TowerTalk] Tri-Ex (1980)

[Don W7WLL]

Nope, perfectly serious. What I have is a copy of two pages actually (I 
suspect part of a booket that was folded 8.5 x 11 paper). It describes a 
Super Z-25-T (Triexium tm)on one side and a Super Z-25 on the other (but 
this tower is steel, hot dip galvanized). Notes the material is " . . . 
similar to those used in jet planes and space craft".

To go further with the description it says it is "anodized, non-corroding 
and cannot rust . . . is actually stronger than steel and it will never need 
painting". Tower height from 10 to 200 feet.

This still says 'aluminum' to me.

Around 1980 Tri-Ex apparently offered a tower that came in 10 foot sections 
and was made with something called Triexium.

The data sheet (which says little) claims it is a ‘space-age, lightweight, 
high strength, lightalloy’ material.  Sounds a lot life aluminum.

Have never seen any recent (and not so recent) references to this 
material/tower?

Just curious, sales sheet was in my old Tri-Ex WT-51 file.
