[TowerTalk] Mobile Tri-ex 70 tower

[Grant Saviers]

Rick,

Thanks for the correction.  I should have checked my pictures.  The 
actual tower in 2016 was RMTU480MD.  I think the same in 2017.  Not 
guyed when I saw it.

 From the brochure it appears the lighter tower (#4 top section) needs 
the guys for structural support at rated load since the guys tie to the 
outriggers.
