Free to any "construction minded ham" Wilson model TT-45B crank tower.
It is in 2 sections and piping is in fairly good condition but the winch
and cable will need replacing. This antenna was designed to mount
against the house with a bracket but I did some research and the only
difference between this old tower and the US Tower MA40 is the the top
section. It is round while the top of the MA40 is square. So the free
standing base and cable system from US tower can be used to convert it
to a free standing tower -- something I was planning to do to add
another tower to the existing MA40 I now have. Never got around to
completing the project and the tower is now stored against the house
slightly elevated on my concrete driveway.
So all you need is a trailer to fit the nested piping that is 20ft long
and weighs about 200-300 pounds and a few extra hands to move it to
your trailer. I also have the manual for the tower if you decide to
mount it against a house. Foundation dimensions, base fixtures, and
anchor bolts can be viewed on the US Tower web site if you want to
convert to a free standing tower.
