Thanks Rick - 

Make sure I understand right... the ring rotator pegs
slip into tower tubing right at the top of the tower
section so the ring rotator ends up just a few inches
above that section.  That allows the tower section to
nest into the section below with no problems.    

The problem I saw was that there was only a few inches
of tower exposed when it was nested and that wasn't
enough to mount an antenna on.  Your solution sounds
like it gets around that.... right?  

I contacted a US Tower guy about this and he didn't
have any answers for me... surprised he wasn't aware
of this deal... Sounds perfect!!!
