[TowerTalk] IsoTruss towers

[john at kk9a.com]

There is a photo on their website showing a worker on the tower so I wonder
if something has changed in the last decade?  Having to raise and lower the
whole tower for antenna work or having to rent a lift is not practical for
most ham use.  In environments with heavy corrosion, like Aruba, this could
be an interesting option, if it was safe to work on.

I have literature from them dated 2003. Their tower then was not 
climbable, but advertised as being totally assembled on the ground and 
either walked up or raised with a falling derrick at heights to 330'. I 
think they were targeting the weather station market at the time. I 
thought it could have served to hold up big wire arrays, but it was 
fairly expensive.
