[TowerTalk] tower jack substitute

[KC4HW]

In the past I have used a 2x4 about 8' long.  Cut a length about 20" to 24" off one end and 
nail (or screw) that piece across the length of the 2x4 as a "T" 

You can use it in between the two sections to bump and pry them apart.   This worked pretty 
good for Rohn 25.  Never used it on Rohn 45 or bigger.  

To fit to a joining section, I just used a rubber mallet and adjusted the rung on either section 
until the fit worked.  

Actually you can use the method to adjust sections coming apart also, but sometimes just 
easier to bump them apart with the 2x4...
