[TowerTalk] US Tower MA40 Questions

[Terry Brown]

I asked earlier about Rohn unguyed tower height and really appreciate all the advice. 

I have come to the realization that at 70 yrs old, I really don’t want to be climbing towers any more. Combined with the fact that I live in an exposed area with high winds at times. 

My ideal antenna height would be between 35-40 ft.   With the ability to crank down to 20 or so height in storms and wind. Being able to tilt over and service my antenna would be great. 

Although very spendy, I have been looking at the US Tower MA-40 with the tiltover base and rotor base. I’m not sure if a person could get the tiltover base and still mount the rotor on the top mast. 

I would appreciate getting any opinions of this tower from people who have used them. I would have a Mosley TA-33 JR for an antenna. 

Also, does the tower rattle back and forth in the wind?

Thanks so much,
