Howdy, TowerTalkians --
Tnx for your inputs but I think I need to describe what I want to do
in more detail.
There is a heavy 20' mast sticking out of the top of a pointy top 45G.
What I want to know is if by lowering the mast down thru the middle of the
tower, if at some point you can exit the mast thru the face of a tower
section? I haven't tried it and doubt if it could be done but I wanted to see
if someone in the group has done it or attempted it. Tnx.
I use 24' lengths of 2" DOM in both 45G and 25G. I think You'd have to
remove 2, if not three consecutive cross braces to feed one out the
side. IIRC one isn't enough as there is very little bending moment in
the mast.
We has one slip out of the grab. It made it all the way to the bottom
with no problem and didn't appear to even bounce off any braces although
it did hit the guy anchor rings on the way by.
