[TowerTalk] Source of STRONG tower?

[W0MLD W0MLD]

Hi Donna,

Are you limited to self supporting or guyed towers?  I know if you speak
with the engineers direct at Rohn they will design a tower to your
guidelines.  The price is NOT much more significant percentage-wise than
what you would pay for one of their standard towers.  You give them your
parameters.

Good luck in your venture!
