I am curious as to the need to have so much mast buried in the tower.
Wouldn't the rotator be just as isolated from side forces with say half as
much embedded mast as long as the intermediate support was still there?  I
understand about erring on the side of caution but isn't this huge overkill?

Happy Holidays from sunny So. Cal. (75deg today)
