[Elecraft] OT tower disassemble tool

[Alan]

I have always used temporary guy wires whenever I had any doubts, not 
only during removal but also during installation of a tower.  As long as 
the tower is well-guyed it's not going to fall down.

The trick is to guy it just below the section you're working on.  As you 
add/remove each section, move the guys up or down a section.  A little 
tedious but worth the trouble.
