[TowerTalk] Rotor Removal

[Grant Saviers]

An additional comment for building a tower and stack without a crane.  
For a long mast it helps if the mast is placed inside the tower at the 
start.  Then the mast hoist can proceed when the tower is up, as 
mentioned in this thread with the additional rotator plate or angle iron 
u-bolt assembly to hold the mast.  Then it is possible to build the 
stack in place, hoisting the mast the required amount for each antenna 
with a come-along or block and tackle.  Reverse the process when antenna 
work is needed :-( .
