I would also agree this company is great to deal with. I have a 190' NSX tower and it has worked for my little ISP. However, with the positive that it does work just like Bob says, they are not solid-rod towers like Valmont, so the life is yet to be determined. They are hot-dipped electro-galvanized (better coating) vs the old-fashioned way of just galvanizing, but because they are hollow, they can rust from the inside out. I hope this investment lasts like most of the 30+ yr old MCI and AT&T microwave towers have held up, but I have my doubts. So far so good. 2 1/2 years on it and it still has little to no rust on the outside.

Just wanted to post a quick plug here for Nello Towers. If any of you guys or gals is considering buying a tower or towers you should consider these guys. We have been installing tower stuff for years and and I can't remember the last time I didn't have to pull out a mag drill, torch, come-a-long, sledgehammer or some other tool or device to make a tower go together. we just installed a 100' freestanding Nello NSX tower for a customer and every single hole lined up perfectly, the instructions were straight forward, everything was labeled and color coded, and there was even a box that said "SPARE HARDWARE"!!!! Holy Crap! Imagine that!!! A freakin' tower dog's miracle moment. we put the tower together and hung it in one day without issue. And we were not short ANYTHING. We have a second one to do and I can honestly say I am looking forward to it. Now I have no relationship with this company and I don't make anything from them. But I know what a nightmare putting some of these together can be like for someone with experience. Can't imagine a novice trying it. Anyone looking for some fun should buy five 100' Super Trylon towers from Tessco and try putting them together with the instructions off the web site. Took us 4 weeks especially when we realized we had all kinds of parts missing. And the shipping was a killer because Tessco makes its own kits and crates each individual section in nice heavy wood crates. 10 sections, 10 crates. We had enough wood left over to build a 4 bedroom house! :-) Just an FYI..... Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- WISPA Wants You!
