[TowerTalk] Calculating Forces for Tilting tower

[Dave Tipton]

I have a 40 foot Rohn 25, with a tilt base section.   It will be sitting next to a detached framed (not block) garage with siding.

I can attach a winch to an extra guy bracket I have at the ten foot level.

There will be roughly 50 lbs at the top of the tower.  (Rotator, Hex Beam, GP3)

How much is the maximum force required to raise this from a cable at the 10 foot level?  

Thanks,
Dave, W5DMT
