Tubular towers and PV mounting [RE-wrenches]

[Paul Gipe]

<x-flowed>
Ian, Matt, Hugh,

Whoa, 140-160-foot tubular tower for a 5-meter machine? That's going to be 
one helluva expensive installation. How can anyone justify that 
expense--even for an off-the-grid system? Let us know what you find out, 
maybe they're cheaper than I think.

One suggestion, don't use Rohn's "step-bolts". In researching my new book 
I've learned that those are called "gutters" among safety experts for 
disemboweling climbers. The foot peg should be enclosed so your foot 
doesn't slip off--and out into thin air.
