[TowerTalk] Crank down towers when away

"Do you guys always lower the tower
when you skip town for a day or two?   Or go to work?"

I can't speak for crank-up towers, I am partial to guyed ones, but I can tell 
you I disconnect all my feedlines, control lines, and AC whenever I am away 
from the radio - Lightning has struck 4 times in my 40+ year ham hobby.  I 
suspect I would crank down my tower also if it were applicable.
