[Antennas] Tower

[Ray LaRue]

Although it is down right now awaiting another move, I have used a 
hinged base 72' Heights Mfg aluminum tower, consisting of 6- 18" and 3- 
14"x 8' sections, with a Moseley CL-36 at 56' and an S-402 at 72'.  It 
is designed as a rotating tower with the rotator at the base and a 
custom made ball bearing isolated, guy ring at 48'.  It is been up at 
two locations over the last 30 years, stood heavy ice (in Atlanta), 
several windstorms, including two hurricanes (in Fla) and is still in 
good condition.  The all aluminum assembly has served me well and is 
fairly easy to raise and lower.

I believe the Heights tower is still being made.  The Universal tower 
also is very good and could do the same..
