[HCARC] Tower Available

[Bill Tynan]

This from today's 205 Morning Report.

AB-105 is very good tower. It's what most of the PVRC guys use. My only problem with it is that there is no horizontal surface on which to step. All of the cross members are at an angle. I climbed W3TMZ's once and it was very uncomfortable.

FOR SALE 180 feet of Military tower AB-105 $50.00 per 10 foot section, 3 Bases available $50.00 each, Misc lengths of guy

wire and some insulators. No bent sections. Will deliver 150 miles of Seminole, FL (zip 33772) for 20 cents
