I have a friend that has recently had a rohn 25 tower fall in a severe 
thunderstorm bending and breaking the section at the bottom. The tower 
is in concrete. Is there a best way to mate a section back to what is 
existing? Is is best to put a sleeve around each leg of the tower and 
through bolt it? Is it best to sleeve and weld it? Is it best to cut the 
existing section off at the ground and use a rohn base plate? Or are 
there better suggestions? Thanks you, Joe N4JBK
