[Chris Blake, NX4N]

Hi FCG and TARC,

I heard from a local club member down here that there are two crankup towers in Bradenton that seem to be free if you take them down.  One is 72ft and the other 55ft- more details below  Contact K4QXX directly (his email is shown below) if interested.

73,

Chris, NX4N

2 US Tower crank up towers available

A wife of a silent key has two towers she would like removed from her property.  One is a 72’ US tower that has the motor drive (for vertical operation up and down) and the other is a 55’ US tower with a manual wench.  Basically, they are free but a donation to the wife would be appreciated.  Please contact me if interested.  The towers are located in Bradenton, Florida.  I don’t have pictures but I can go by the house in the next few days and take pictures of what you would like to see.  Both towers were used until a couple of years ago and do need the cables replaced but towers are in pretty good shape.  Both towers have the tilt over pole with pulley but only the 55 has a wench and cable on it.  The 72 has the tilt over pole, but no wench or cable.

Hi Burch,

If you don’t find anyone capable and hot to trot, I might be able to come take them down for her. I just took down a 90 foot crank up today. Pictures would be awesome, and an address so I can get an idea if I can get a trailer to it or not would be great too.

Thanks, Drew KO4MA
