Hello TTérs, I was at an estate sale yesterday. Went there actually to look at the amp. advertised. Was gone but noticed a ham-m control box so took a look to see what it was for. Found a nice WT51 o

Hi, Kathy, If I ever have any doubt, for $300 or so, I hire a boom truck. Before it comes, loosen all the bolts to the base, but tighten two on each leg back. Attach a rope to the base of the tower t

Kathy, How much clearance do you have behind the tower? (Opposite side of where it will hinge to). If you can borrow a Hy-Gain raising fixture to lower it, you are set if you have clearance behind it

That is a good plan too but make sure the owner gives you a letter that it is OK for a boom truck to come onto the property as they are heavy and can damage driveways and gardens.... Been there too!

And perhaps have the boom truck/crane follow you home, unload it and place it at or near it's new home. Gene / W2LU Anyway, my problem is how to lower it. I'd put a ladder up to the top to remove the

It is always best to "control" the fall with a lowering device, crane or whatever. I have dropped towers onto a 3 - 4 stack of large used tires. They will take up most of the fall shock, but one time

Walking it over sounds dangerous. If you have room behind it, you could get a tow truck (wrecker) with a boom to lower it. Hello TTérs, I was at an estate sale yesterday. Went there actually to look

Kathy: I have a W51 and have helped take a couple down.  As long as you remove the antenna and rotor beforehand you're ok.  Don't need any extra weight on the top. The ones I helped take down we had

I used a similar scheme to move my TX472 from the front yard (where it was placed by the hauler), to the back yard. I fabricated trucks (tires/wheels + axles), using 16" pneumatic tires/wheels + 3/4"
