I don't know just how exact the old discontinued Wilson MT-61 tower is compared
to the UST MA-550. I've seen several articles that say they're basically the
same tower, can use the same raising fixtures and other accessories.
Someone sent me .pdf files of the installation manual about a year ago for the
MT-61 and a separate manual for the optional guying system for it. Maybe
there's some similar guying method available for the MA-550?
