[Tower-Speak] US Tower

[Dave Harmon]

Fred & Mac......I appreciate your responses but neither of you mentioned
if the top section has a positive pull down.
I'm not gonna buy another tower that can't be lowered in a wind or iced
up.
Can either of you tell me?

Does anyone know of an installer in the Tulsa area??

I was thinking the same thing when i ordered my  HDX-572MDPL a few years
ago, mine has been up  4 years with close to 20sqft of antennas on top,
had
70+ winds here a few times and still standing, i feel very safe now and
don,t worry anymore, mine is about 10 feet from the house. Buy it you
will
be glad you did its a heavy duty beast nothing to worry about.
