[TowerTalk] Installing a Ham-IV rotor on Tashjian w-51 tower

[Chuck Dietz]

Does that tower have the same dimensions as Rohn 25?
You could remove the top section and install the rotor there. Once inside,
it might be possible to work it up. I'm not sure anyone here has experience
with this type of tower.
