>> Hello list,

>> 
>> 
>> Has anyone on the list looked into Luso towers when shopping for 
>> a new one?
>> For those that aren't aware of Luso, it is a Japanese tower 
>> builder of heavy
>> duty electrically operated crankup towers in heights from 90 feet 
>> to over
>> 300 feet.  They accommodate antenna, rotor, and mast weight of up 
>> to 2200
>> pounds.  The 150 foot model is rated to accommodate 140 square 
>> foot of
>> antenna, and goes from a fully retracted height of 42 feet to a 
>> fully
>> extended height of 145 feet in 29 seconds.    Masts of up to 8.6 
>> inch
>> diameters are accommodated with multiple thrust bearings.  Each 
>> model is
>> available with a number of options, including a rotating base, 
>> and automatic
>> retraction when winds exceed a preset level.  The 150 foot model 
>> weighs
>> 29700 pounds excluding options.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> A friend just took delivery of the 90 foot model with the 
>> rotating base and
>> automatic retraction system.  Because of my recent good news on 
>> the health
>> front, I am seriously thinking of ordering the 120 foot tower 
>> with the
>> rotating base, automatic retraction, 4 inch mast with thrust 
>> bearings, and a
>> prop pitch rotor with Green Heron controller.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> If anyone has investigated the Luso offerings, I'd appreciate 
>> discussing
>> them with you.

>> 
>> 
>> Merry Christmas everyone, and a very happy New Year.
