[SixClub] Tower

[sixclub@mailman.qth.net]

If you or your friends in your club have no experience in dismanteling
a tower, PASS ON IT
Your life is more vaulable than an old tower and a couple of beams.

Be really careful, If it was up 7-6 years without any maintenance
of the Guy Lines, Look to see if there are any fraying on them
If there are, I would install Temp Lines made of good rope during the
take down. Even if all you want to do is salvage the beams and
the rotation device, I would install Temp Guys. Just to play it safe.

After cleaning the antennas up they should be okay, The rotation device
depending on what type it is could possibly be salvaged also.
Look at a company called Norms Rotor Service. They do great work

If you need more information, check out the TowerTalk Reflector
There are alot of people who have alot more Tower experience than
I do on there that could answer each and ever one of your questions
