And if you want to purchase the Mexican version, go to
http://www.epcom.net/epcom_ingles.htm , get their phone or E-mail info, and
give the guys in El Paso a call.  They speak English, but not too well.  The
knock off of the Rohn BX series is not listed in their catalog but I have
seen the nestled towers on their warehouse floor ready for shipment.

I purchase quite a bit of their anodized Rohn 20, 25 and 45 series products.
El Paso is three road hours from here and I can go pick up my needs and save
a bundle on freight as well as pay a bit less than what most dealers want
for the Rohn product.  The anodized towers do real well here in the desert
southwest.  I would NOT recommend them for a damp or salt air location.

They do have hot dip galavanized versions available, but the price is
essentially the same as the Rohn product.

I have no interest in Epcom other than to keep them in business so I can get
what I need when I want it.
