Here is today's Ham Shack Safety Tip:

  Beware of used towers and gear, which may have hidden defects.
  Most hams will not give others "a bum steer", but there are
  some who are willing to make a quick buck on a useless item,
  basically "a worthless boat anchor doorstop". In short "you get
  what you pay for". It's best to buy "fresh tower", as it were,
  even if it costs more.
