[TowerTalk] Universal tower help

[n8de at thepoint.net]

The mast guide tube at the top of the tower comes in two different  
sizes, one for a 2" mast and another for a 1 3/4" mast.

Universal towers are very EASY to 'drop'.

You simply remove the base bolts from the two legs that are parallel  
and tip it over, using some method to keep it from falling quickly  
(restraint ropes/guys work fine).

If each tower leg has TWO bolts, BOTH must be removed from the  
parallel flanges and the LOWER bolt removed on the 'pivot' leg.

I've done this so often, I sometimes dream about it.
