I assume you gave them antenna specs so they could give you an accurate quote for a tower. They do a really great job. Sabre towers go together better than most I think. I think I have one of those in my yard right now. It is likely a bit heavier than that. If I remember I have a two carrier 195 foot SS and a two carrier 150 foot monopole over there. I tend to buy surplus towers from Sabre when someone backs out.
