[TowerTalk] Need to identify aluminum tower

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

Many towers are available in shorter lengths so they can be shipped UPS  
This includes 25G at least at one time
There were many, very light duty aluminum towers in 8' sections made of 
a soft, cheap grade Aluminum.  These have long since ceased production 
and information is sparse to non available.

These towers are only good for holding a small VHF vertical, or wire 
antenna._*They are not safe to climb!
