One other note to add...

I think this tower was not designed to handle a large rotating antenna.  The
bracing is flat, which is great for climbing, but not good for twisting.

$3500 for an almost 50 year old tower seems a bit expensive to me.  That
would be the equivalent of $175 for a 10' section.
