Your local friendly telco would be able to help on the sourcing... I was working with a telco last winter that installed a 65 foot pole for us... 10 foot I think was underground... anyways he said the price on new poles had gone through the roof lately... I think that pole cost them $1k or so.
My point being... a Trylon tower or equivalent may be a better bet overall. I would personally only choose a pole if I could get them for dirt cheap, or they were already existing. I think long run a tower is a better investment. My 2 cents...

Is it possible to get them about 75ft above ground? I have a few sites this would work very nicely. - Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Easy project > > Foundation for a 40 Trylon is probably something like 6 x 6 x 4'. Any concrete contractor should be able to do this real cheap. 6 yards of crete at $90 or so a yard. Rent a mini excavator for about $200. Rebar the hole another couple of hundred. Install the base, make sure its level, pour the crete, float and wait. > > Build the tower on the ground and lift it in place with a boom truck. > > Boom truck for a couple of hours should be less than $500. > > Do it yourself for $1600 or less.
