[BC] 1000 foot tower for a dollar!

[Rob Atkinson]

yeah kent, come with me and we'll do it together; I'll stand on the ground 
and yell if I see anything wrong!  ha ha  The gin pole for a tower like 
that, is probably another tower too big for me!

thanks everyone for the information on the tube/solid combos -- that 
possibility would have never occurred to me in a zillion years.  having tube 
on top of solid must help lower the center of gravity of the tower, if that 
matters.

funny you should say that, as on the way home yesterday I was thinking that
a ham who could afford the take-down and move would wind up with 5 or 6 nice
sturdy 150 to 200 foot towers.  all kinds of possibilities:  big high horiz.
loop;  4 tower square DA, each 180 degrees on 160 meters....mmm mmmm nice.
gotta be a rich ham though, but dreaming is free.

was surprised to read that the legs were tube and not solid.  thought such a
tall tower would have solid legs.
