If you're looking to go above 120' you really need to look into a RohnSSV or equivelant. Yes - we lost a Trylon during hurricane Rita ! DOH ! - only had 1/2 of the wind loading she was rated for and she folded clean in half ! The ANWireless towers are built using heavier angle John.

No hollow tubes. I like them myself. I have never tried the ANs discussed though. I am guessing it is a good tower if Johnny thinks so. Hey Johnny, did you lose a Trylon during the hurricane? Did you have an AN tower then also or is that what you replaced the Trylon with? :-) I have 2 Trylons in service currently. One of them just went online last week. The Trylons appear to be built very solid to me. I am not a PE but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
