The OP is looking for designs to construct the tower, while your link 
shows an install, impressive as it is, using commercial tower parts.

Although if time is money, constructing a tower from scratch is not a 
good financial deal.

BTW, there has been at least two other installs in MI almost exactly 
like the 83 QST example (maybe inspired by), and each of the owners met 
an untimely death. Just sayin ...:-)
