[nrv-hams] resources to identify a ham radio tower

[Russ Abbey]

Hi Patric,
Serial numbers on the stuff we use as Hams don't have serial numbers.
Someone correct me if they know about this please.  However, John K4JKA and
I have dismantled 3 100' towers now and several others and I have never
seen a serial number on any section.  If you can get the distance between
the uprights, and the distance between the braces I can probably help you
out.  On the uprights, I need center to center.  On the braces, I need from
one flat to the next or from one X to the next.  If this is commercial
tower, as in a super wide base then I will have to see it to help.

Let me know!
