Cut it off at the base (cut one leg through, cut the other two almost
all the way through) and tilt it down slowly.
Thanks

Hello Oh Wise Gents!
I have the opportunity to obtain a 40, (38), foot Rohn 25G for free. But I will
have to take it down. I have no idea how long it's been in the air but I would
guess many years.
The bottom section has TWO splits, one per leg, where it must have frozen and
ruptured, so no climbing it. I'm considering a rented man lift to take each
section off.
So my question is "generally speaking", how difficult is it to separate the
sections? Considering that I'll use a gin pole and a tower jack installation/removal tool.
The antenna that is up there is what looks to be a VHF commercial ground plane,
so no real weight was up there.
I know this is a leading question, but I'd like a little insight as to what I'm
up against.
What tricks does the experienced guys here have to suggest?
Thanks much!!!
Tom
