I bought this 55' trailer mounted tower in Alabama. Sat in the back yard for a good while but last week i finally got around to assembling a Maco V5000 so today I cranked her up about 90% of what she will go.. I'm stoked. near as i can tell its about 64' to the bottom of the antenna.

God that is beautiful, just climbed my tower today and took the Astrobeam back down and put the Sigma IV back up. It was a bitch, wish I had a crank up.
