I see two large cranes in the future... One to handle a "man basket" and the
other to lift the tower.
Use the basket to attach the lift crane to the top, drop the basket to the
half way point and split the tower. Once that half is on the ground, repeat
for the last half.
Cheap it won't be but it would be as safe as you could make it. Of course
if you have money to burn, there's always a helicopter! HI!
Dropping it might work but from the guy point distance description, I bet
there are "inconveniences" in the way.

You would probably see their backs if they thought you were serious. That
tower sounds like a disaster in waiting!
I hope no one gets hurt when it falls.

The tower is 150' Rohn 25G. The guy anchors are placed at 51', 51', and
44' from the base (can't be any more because of the lot). Rohn used to
have a PDF document going over the requirements for anchors, guy wires,
etc. for different guy anchor positions. I cannot find this document,
and all I can find is the standard one with the standard 120' anchor
placement from the base. Do any of you have any recommendations or
documentation on how to figure out the correct materials to be used to
support this tower? Moving the guy anchor positions out is not an

I'm glad you're climbing it and not me. The correct guy postion is
about
80% from the base, or around 120 feet. The tower is an accident waiting
to
happen in a strong wind. I imagine it is "exciting" to climb. Guys
should be 3/16 EHS. My guess is it only has four guy points at most, and
was
not erected by a tower company
Complete info can be found on the Rohn site.
