Hi folks
I have two towers or sale.
1. 10m lightweight tower by VK5BJF (then Clare Valley). VK5BJF sold quite a few of these towers to the amateur community. The tower has a triangular base and two of the feet are parallel enabling the tower to be walked up and down (lowered and raised).The tower can be used as a tie-off point for wire antennas, for supporting a vertical or carrying a light weight beam and rotator (three elements on 6, two metres, 70 and 23 cms).  Mine is as new and I will sell for $200.

2. Windmill tower, Dean and McCabe, Mount Gambier.
This tower is a windmill tower and is strong, light and well-built (big boy's meccano). I used mine for beams on 70cm and 23 cm and a 2/70 vertical. My beams were horizontaly polarised and rotatable. The tower was quite an investment and has been great for experimental purposes. It has a strong ladder built in. The tower is approximately 25 feet high in the old measures.
I am happy to negotiate a fair price for this tower to a good owner who likes to play with antennas. See VK5BJE Facebook page  March, for ABC story on this company, Wind mill towers are going the way of the dodo!
