OK, i plan on moving soon, to a place where i can put up a tower. The problem is that I have no tower. If anyone has a 25-30 ft. (or maybe even taller) tower that they'd just like to get rid of and are willing to deliver I'd gladly take it. Thanks

Keep your eye out for tower not being
used in peoples yards. Place an ad looking
for used tower.

I just visited a club yesterday afternoon to listen to a sound check. They had some (a boat load) antenna tower they were using for vertical ground trussing for effect lighting. I asked them where they got it and they house guy said, and I quote, "Duuh, the junkyard dummy! Chad, where's your head man?"

So there you have it. He said it's ALWAYS available there. I was going to go this afternoon but weather is bad. Maybe tomorrow. He said he paid $3.50 a section!!!!!! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!

Well, they are called "recycling centers" here, they have different levels here. Cars go to a car recycling area, scrap metal and computer equipment go to another, they are across the street from each other and have different owners. But in essence yes. I'd pick up the phone book and give them a jingle.


I plan to go look tomorrow or Monday, since you live fairly close shall I look for 2?

Humm... I'm not sure if we have actual recycle centers around here.

Chad, I'd say yes but I don't have the money right now, I would the week after next, also i would have to have it deliver as I have no transportain. I dont want to but you through any troubles just so I can have a tower,
