I want one of those 4-sided towers like you see along the tollway. The ones that look like there should be a fire lookout tower at the top.
Or maybe a Sabre S4R. https://www.facebook.com/Sabreindustries/photos/pb.240001369446373.-2207520000.1451953683./255490917897418/?type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/Sabreindustries/photos/pb.240001369446373.-2207520000.1451953803./255490931230750/?type=3&theater From: George Skorup Sent: Monday, January 04, 2016 5:53 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Un-guyed tower The top two sections on our office SSV are 5N and 4N. I think it's something like 8-10" of slope over that 40 feet. The 6, 7 and 8N sections are obviously a lot different. What's funny is that the top two sections weigh more than the bottom three because the tops are solid rod legs and braces. They had all 100 feet of that thing stacked in like 35 minutes. Real tower constructors with an experienced crane operator know how to get shit done son! I also specifically requested that we did not do the skinny 3, 2, and 1W SSV sections on top and opted for the larger 8N base. Good thing too because I think it would've folded over in the 165+ MPH tornado. In fact, I'm sure it would have.

I like those towers.
