This tower looks like a BX tower. Depending on the height, it should
handle any moderate sized beam, like an A3 or A4 with ease. It looks a
bit rusted so you'll have to determine the extent of the corrosion and
repair as necessary.

A friend here recently purchased a home that has a free-standing tower
with
a TV antenna on top. It needs to be removed. Please take a look at
photos
on my web site:
http://www.dutson.net/transfer/HamRadio/FreeTower/
Does anyone know if this tower could be used for a moderate HF antenna?
Judging by the rust it has been up a long time. Would it be worth the
time
and trouble to refurbish?
Thanks for your comments.
73, Keith NM5G
