Junior, QSL. My friend Stan, who will have the super station in northern
Florida beginning next summer, has several rotating 200 foot towers made of
Rohn 55G.

Junior, what brand of tower do you have? I believe that you said that it
was 100', but is it guyed Rohn or just what? The 200' towers that my friend
Stan has are made of Rohn 55G. They will have five sets of guys with guy
rings. He is also going to mount several yagis on ring rotors at several
different hights so that he can play with takeoff angles and such. They
sure don't give ring rotors away. The good ones that he bought are about
$3500 each.

Hello all,
I have often referenced a friend who recently bought a farm in northern
Florida for the sole purpose of building a world class ham station there. I
have been assisting him with the design of his station, as well as helping
with the ordering of tons of equipment.
Early last week, Stan bought an 89 foot US Tower in Mesa, Arizona which is
perhaps 30 miles to my east. Because the tower was close to my QTH, he
asked if I could store the tower for a few weeks while he arranged for
transportation to take it to his farm. Of course I said sure, and so
arrangements were made to deliver the tower and related equipment to me. A
day or two later, Stan found another 89 foot US Tower that had a few more
options than the one in Mesa. Since he liked the second tower better than
the first one, he bought it. With the purchase of these two 89 foot US
Towers, he now had bought a total of ten towers. Once he finalized the
purchase of the tower in Dallas, he told me that he no longer had any use
for the Mesa tower, and said that I might just as well keep the tower that
was coming to my QTH. The tower was delivered to my place Thursday
afternoon.
Now I am trying to decide if replacing my tower is worth the effort. The
new tower is bigger and better than my current 75 footer, but replacing a
tower is not a trivial exercise. Thankfully time is not a factor, so I can
make up my mind at any time. Needless to say, I was very surprised that
Stan told me that I could keep the tower. It is worth well over ten grand.
