A year ago I tried to order 3 of their custom 111ft. motorized =
telescoping towers
that they had designed and built for a cell co. Nice stuff that they =
don't offer to the
amateur community, but at $28K a pop, no wonder. Anyway, after many
attempts to get my order entered, they replied with a statement that =
they have
too much cell business to deal with hams. Forget them. I'm not sure =
why they
still advertise in QST or any amateur mags after this!!!
