[TowerTalk] Model TM-Series by Tri-Ex

[Don W7WLL]

No, not crankups or sky needles, says it comes in 10 foot sections with 
joining sleeves that hold the sections together while sections are being 
bolted, gives a full 10 foot length. I'll scan the paper and  you can see 
the whole writeup. These are for stacking and guying. I assumed from the 
model number it was a competitive tower to the Rohn 25, just didn't know 
what Triexium material was. Re this ad I suspect the Triexium was only for 
the guyed tower items.

Model TM-Series
The Sky Needle series supports large amateur beams.
Hinged base mount included for concrete base.
Geared tele-scopic winch included.
Motor included with 70', 90' & 100' models.

Come to Tri-Ex for innovative tower design and
engineering! Our towers are famous all over the
world for their strength, stress and wind resistance.
Now you can buy a superior Tri-Ex tower at
FACTORY SAVINGS!

Choose your metal. Towers can be fabricated in
steel to ASTM Specifications with hot-dipped gal-
vanized finish (done after construction so that inside
surfaces are zinc-coated, too). Or in Triexium™, our
lightweight, corrosion resisting, high-strength light
alloy.

Tri-Ex HAM towers are available self-supporting or
guyed; take your choice. The W series of crank-up
towers, the LM series of crank-up/tilt-over towers
and the TM sky needles are self-supporting.

Use your charge power to buy your tower. Tri-Ex
honors Visa and Master Charge credit cards. If you
have questions about tower accessories or which
size tower is right for your antenna, call Bill Salerno,
his technical sales know-how is ready to serve you.
