Re: [WISPA] New Tower Installation - Check out these towers!
I'd be scared to climb one of those, with the section of the tower weighing less than I do. I wonder how strong they are from the perspective of climbing safety. For example if a fall takes a direction jult to the cross member tied off to?

Re: [WISPA] New Tower Installation - Check out these towers!
Just talked to a guy (435-695-2000) about the 90' towers. He asked self-standing or guyed? so I said both. Well, the self-standing aren't available yet - still under design - so he couldn't actually give me a price on that. All their towers come in 18-20' increments at $1000 per section. And I guess he means 18', as 5 of those make 90'. Add in erection at $5k, delivery at $2.5k, and engineering stamp at $2k (from the 82m tower .. lights shouldn't be necessary here) and you get your tower up for about $15k.

Re: [WISPA] New Tower Installation - Check out these towers!
I know they show how much cheaper they are, but I installed an ANWireless self supporting 100' tower for a less than $10K. No engineer stamp and I found a used tower, but even new would have been less than $10K.
