- It's the Hy-Gain for sure. The tell-tale sign is the "double-U" back-to-back webbing that can be seen. Tri-Ex never used that. 73 WB2WIK Can anyone positive identify the tower in these photos http://

- One thing I was told was the Hy-Gain towers only had three bolt holes per leg and the one in question has five, so does the LM470. In the HG-70HD PDF manual I found on line it also shows three bolt h

- I recall Hy-Gain made changes along the way. Of course, so did Tri-Ex! But that type of webbing with the back-to-back "U" forms I have only seen on Hy-Gain towers and not anywhere else. From: damon s

- Thanks Steve, I think you may be correct. I have been searching for photos of both and I have yet to see an LM470 with that type of bracing. Well, Im in the process of buying the tower. I was told it

- That's a good question. I would lean toward the LM-470 only because there is still some support though TashTowers. One fellow mentioned the Hy-Gain version is considered by some to be a slightly bett

- Terry, W6RU thinks it looks allot like a Lou Tristao (pre US Tower) 72' Tower. Skip, KJ6Y also pointed out it cant be a Tri-Ex but it has features that where not found on the Hy-Gain. I sent photos t

- Anyone left at U.S. Tower who worked for Lou in the early days? Unfortunately we can't ask Lou since he's been SK for ten years now. I don't recall seeing the "double-U" type webbing on Tristao produ

- Also, Im told from Hy-Gain, they never used the spring in the centre of the top section (positive pull down tensioner?). I looked up some images of the Tristao's and your right, the bracing is differ
