Patrick:

I ordered a Trylon Titan 500-64 from Steve in 2001. He was very helpful before 
and after the sale, answering my questions about my own first tower 
installation. As for the product itself, if I needed a second medium-duty tower 
I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Trylon. I built it myself from individual 
angle pieces (I was able to buy it cheaper broken down into pieces and not 
factory assembled.)  I am aware of the wind load design limits to the tower and 
have not overloaded it. It's been up in my suburban back yard since the fall of 
2001. Steve and Trylon are a combination worth considering.

You are correct, sir.

commentary regarding the book and the author that I have read here I find 
it 
interesting that I don't see the brand tower he sells mentioned in emails 
on 
this site. Just curious, what is the "general take" on the towers he 
sells?

Champion Radio Products (K7LXC, Proprietor) mostly sells the Trylon 
Titan self-supporting towers. Best value for the money for a free standing 
tower. I can get Rohn products but they're such a commodity there's no margin 
left in it for us little dealers.
