Wonder if this tower is still standing,
with guy cables anchored to oak trees
and one telephone pole ??

No indication of loss.
Little activity on his message forum (web site) after August 5th.

I assume that means he lost electric, phone and water services due to
Katrina.

Let me suggest you head down there and watch the darn thing. Why are you so
fixated on this guys tower?

Are you simply waiting with baited fingers to type "Nah, Nah, I told you
so"?

I do note that a number of built to good engineering practice, inspected,
infected, dejected towers of various radio station came down...

There are a lot of us out here who share your confidence in your
tower.

I am still using a crank up mast that I purchased in 1979(?). The
mechanics of this thing are more related to a sailboat than a
mountain. I count on it moving when the wind blows to "unload".

It is currently installed without guys and has a Cushcraft A3S on it
so it spends most of its time retracted..
