What a hole that will make!  Hope he can enjoy it for a long time.  Hope he 
isn't in his 90's.  When he is gone it becomes a cell tower... Gary KB2YAA

Subject: Another Luso tower

Hello all,  A week or two back I submitted a post regarding a friend of mine
putting up a 90 foot rotating Luso tower that he bought at Dayton last year.
This morning he told me that yesterday he placed an order for the 170 foot
rotating Luso tower.  Check these numbers out.  The tower less the rotating
base, weighs in at 50,000 pounds, AKA 25 tons.  The base requires 52 cubic
yards of 4000 PSI concrete, plus the huge rebar cage to which the rotating
base bolts to.  The base and tower will be displayed at this year's Dayton
hamvention.  He plans on installing it in late May or early June.  The max
wind load is 108 square feet of antenna at a wind speed of 150 MPH.
