[PPRAANet] Free Tower

[DickT-W0RAA]

I received the following e-mail from Steve, KT0DX.  If anyone is interested, 
please get in touch with Steve, not me.  His e-mail is kt0dx at q.com.

The previous owner was K9BWI, who is now a silent key.

Please keep in mind that the listed items are FREE.  All you have to do is 
take down the tower and haul everything off.

Dick do you know of anyone who would like a 70 foot tower with a TH7DXX and 
Rotor minus the control?  This was K9BWI's tower and is in good shape.  If 
someone was to buy everything new it would be over $3000 for what is there. 
The club president just sent me a e mail indicating that the club does not 
want it.  They are going to put up a home brewed tilt over as the 2nd tower. 
I helped them bring it back from up North and I would have never bought it 
let alone put it up...but that is just me.   If you want you can put the 
information on their reflector in case some club member wants it.  The tower 
is up and they will have to get it down NLT early spring.  I can arrange 
access to the property if I have advance notice of when someone wants to 
take it down.  Just have to notify the property owner who lives in WI.  If 
no one takes this the tower is more then likely going to come down in 1 foot 
sections.  There might be a chance I could exchange the rotor with a Tail 
Twister rotor with control so someone could have a whole system minus the 
coax and rotor cable.  Here is what is there.

All items are FREE!!!!!

Antenna - Hygain TH7DXX
Tower Sections (straight) 6ea
Top Section (Flat) BPL25G
Thrust Bearing TB3 - (I think there is another bearing below the top one).
Rotor Shelf AS25G (2)
Guy Brackets GA25GD (2)
Guy Bracket Torque Arm (6) (These attach to the Guy Bracket)
Guy Anchors (3)  (These are the screw in type and can be removed with some 
work)
Turn Buckle 1/2 X 9 Rohn (9)
Equalizer Plates EP25343 (3)
Phillystran HPTG 2100 (500 feet - estimated)
Phillystran Big Grips (12)
Rotor - Yaesu G1000DXA installed on tower at this time but does not have a 
control box.  I would like to swap the Yaesu rotor for a Hygain TX2 Tail 
Twister rotor with control box that I have, if I could test the Yaesu rotor 
first.  The TX2 goes for $699.00 new if you were to go out and buy it.  I 
have just rebuilt this rotor and it is like new.  The Yaesu rotor goes for 
$575.00 with control box, again, if you were to go out and buy it.
There is about another $75.00 (also FREE) in hardware that is attached to 
the guy wires.  There is also a 2 meter vertical antenna at the top of the 
tower (Hustler I think).
