I'd be worried about rust inside of the tower legs.  If the environment is that 
bad and you've battled rust on the outside, then surely there's rust forming 
inside of the legs.  How old is the tower?  You may wish to replace the top 
section if not the entire unit.  Every tower has a useable service life and 
depending on the conditions eventually needs to be replaced.
