Multiple suggestions of this idea...

Friend here had one with KLM KT34 on top.  Antenna was rotated by long mast
to rotator mounted at base.  No torque from antenna was transmitted to
tower.  Worked flawlessly through several bad storms here in Houston area.

Makes a great deal of sense.  Probably would make this tower viable 
for reasonable ham arrays.
