[SEDXC] W2DNO Stans Tower

[n4xp at juno.com]

If you can get a  roll back wrecker in the area of the tower he can back
up to the already laid flat tower after you have laid it down.  He then
pulls it up onto the flat roll back with his winch.   You then have him
drive to your house and drop it the same way in reverse where you want
it.  I moved my last one this way and he put it exactly at the base of
the hole!    We never had to lift a hand.  Also put landscape logs under
it as rollers it is pulled up and also dropped off.

I've had 5 of these towers to include an 89' now and have used a roll
back each time to move them.  You might have to pay $75 or so but its
really worth it.
