[TowerTalk] Question re Making the Best of A Damaged LM-470

[Joe Giacobello]

My LM-470 was damaged in a windstorm about a year ago and has been since 
replaced by a new model.  The primary damage was that the 2nd section 
from the top was bent over at about six feet up from its bottom.  I was 
thinking that I could use what's left of the tower as a fixed height 
tower of about 70 feet by welding the individual sections together.  I 
was also thinking of fabricating some kind of tilt base to allow me to 
tilt the entire tower up and down from the base by means of a winch, tow 
truck or similar means.  Dopes anyone have any opinions on the 
advisability of such a scheme?  I'd appreciate whatever info you can 
provide.

73, Joe
