Tom,
I just recently bought a crank-up tilt-over tower from a company in
California called Tashjian Towers(formerly Tri-Ex Towers). The company
is owned by Karl Tashjian and he went out of his way to help me with
obtaining all of the necessary calculations and engineering prints that
were required by the building department in my city. I live in South
Florida and we have wind requirements of 140 mph at a 3 second gust, as
well as other requirements that my city wanted. No other tower company
wanted to even try to help me with these requirements much less do
custom calculations for me at no cost. Karl has plenty of business and
did not have go out of his way to help me out. The quality of the tower
is great and he always answered my questions. He has a good selection of
towers, and the price is not bad at all. I would highly recommend his
company. His web site is www.Tashtowers.com. Good luck with the tower
project.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tower Suggestions???
TowerTalk,
I would like a recommendation on a crankup or tilt-over tower or
similiar idea for the home qth. I purchased a Explorer 14 Beam and rotor
from another ham. Part of the deal was that I take it down. It was a
good experience climbing the tower and removing the beam, mast and 2
meter vertical. A local ham kindly donated his tower climbing equipment,
which definately made the job easier. Things went real smooth for my
first time. The reason for my question is that I just turned 50 and the
thought of continually climbing a tower to make changes...that is, as I
get older, there needs to be a easier, safer, way. I surely don't relish
the thought of doing this when I am 60+. Curious as to your thoughts.
Tom, K0PYK
