I have been one to modify the lower end of the tower ,but much in aircrart
style . I overdrilled the hole slightly and installed a tubular piece of pipe
and mig welded all together. Total time down was caused by other aspects of
maint. my end was conservatly 2.0, hrs. Strong and safe forn as long as the
rest of the thing lasts. 73 KL1DB previously KR6MH MARS OPR. Camp Hansen Oki.
