[TowerTalk] US Tower MA40 Questions

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

US Tower had a huge price increase recently.  You might want to look at 
other alternatives that might be less expensive or keep your eyes on 
Craigs list etc. Unless money is not an issue.

At 53, I have little desire to climb my tower anymore and wished I had 
saved a bit longer for a crankup.
