[OKDXA] 48 Foot Crankup Tower

[GENEW5LE at aol.com]

Wonder if anyone in the club might have a use for a 48 foot aluminum crankup 
tower?  I have one I'd like to sell.  Here's the story on this tower.  It was 
originally a 100 foot, 4 section tower when I bought it, but the top sections 
were much too small to install a rotator in, so I broke the tower into two 
halves.  I used the top 2 smaller sections as a TV antenna tower.  The bottom 2 
sections I kept for ham use.  I had a welder weld a rotator plate and a top 
plate on the ham part.  The rotator plate is drilled for a Tailtwister rotator, 
the top plate is drilled for a thrust bearing.  The aluminum legs are 1 1/2 
inch aluminum tubes.  The tower is 20 inches on a face.  I had this tower up for 
3 years, guyed with 2 sets of guys, 24 and 48 feet, and had a Hy-Gain 205CA 
5-element monobander and a Tennadyne T7 Log Periodic on it.  I might add that I 
also had the welder fashion me a hinge plate for the base.  I think the hinge 
plate is a pretty cheesy looking thing, but it does work and, of course, 
you're welcome to that too.  I'd take $100 for the tower, and you pick up.  Please 
contact me if interested.  Thanks.
