[TowerTalk] Rohn accessory plate - AS25G - within 25G tower section

[W3SB at aol.com]

Hello TT'ers,
I have read the notes in the archives regarding locating the AS25G accessory 
shelf within a straight section.  Consensus is that it can be done one of two 
ways:  1)  by notching the plate to clear the diagonal braces, and 2) locating 
the shelf between sections.  My question regards method #2.  Can this be done 
with the two sections joined or does the top section need to be removed first 
(major PITA)?  Tnx.
