[TowerTalk] Triex WT51

[Kathy Bookmiller]

Hello TTérs,

I was at an estate sale yesterday. Went there actually to look at the amp. advertised. Was gone but noticed a ham-m control box so took a look to see what it was for. Found a nice WT51 out back. Looks in excellent condition and not very old judging from lack of rust and the concrete base still looked pretty 'white'. On top is what I believe is a 4el Mosley tri-bander. Did they make a TA34?? Never had a Mosley antenna, always Hygain or Telrex in the past. 

Anyway, my problem is how to lower it. I'd put a ladder up to the top to remove the antenna/rotator but how to lower the actual tower over is the question. Didn't see anything I could attach a block and tackle to. I see from the current site, the tower weighs 360 pounds. Now I am a member of the local DX club, but like most clubs today, it is full of old men and couple of us slowly aging  woman. 

So I'm asking, how many folks do you think I would need to walk the tower over? Or any other ideas such as letting it fall onto something soft and crush able like a bunch of cardboard boxes? Ideas?
