Hi Mike
I just replaced the rotor in my tower and I just lifted the antenna up and
out of the rotor clamp and put a clamp around the mast above the top of the
tower to keep it from sliding down. Then I replaced the rotor, took off
the clamp and lowered the mast back into the rotor clamp. Worked pretty
slick. 73
