You may wish to try it like I did once. A guy was going to sell a tower
he had 40ft laying dowm connected to a 25G hinge. He couldnt get the
sections apart. I tried helping him, and with out the correct tools, we
didnt have much luck. He got mad and told me if I could get rid of it I
could have it. I went and got motorcycle trailer and loaded one end of
tower on trailer and chained the other end to trailer hitch. I waited
ontill early morning when no traffic and drove it home like a long
trailer. 73/DX........Bruce
