This is a foolish idea and the tower is not rated to do this. You
will probably bend the top two tower sections and destroy the
base. Make sure you have someone taking video if you decide to go
forward...I want to see the carnage and upload it to YouTube; key
words, DARWIN AWARD!
How much does the tower and antenna system cost? How much to rent a
boom truck? You decide!
The amateur game is not cheap. If you can't afford it, don't do it.
I know, I'm being a little hard on the Beaver, but do you have any
idea how much of a bad idea this is?!
