Kelley,

        I have no experience with but, have always been intrigued by Universal 
Towers aluminum tower. They seem like a practical solution for the small lot 
little pistol station. The price seem reasonable too.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Looking for tower advice

I recently moved to an new QTH. My yard is much smaller than my previous yard 
(2.5 acres versus about .3 acres). I've currently got an all-band dipole up but 
I've been thinking about a small tower. I've had towers at previous QTH's, but 
I'm looking for something smaller and easier to work with.

The city I live in restricts amateur towers to a maximum of 40 feet (somewhere 
around 30 feet would be good). Ideally, I'm looking for a setup that lets me 
work on antennas from the ground. I'm looking at installing a small tri-band 
beam (perhaps something like a Cushcraft A3S), rotor, a vhf/uhf vertical, and 
an inverted V wire antenna. It would have to be self-supporting (there's no 
room for guy wires). 
Something used is probably more inline with my budget.

Any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, dos, don'ts...

Thanks,

Kelley w0rk
