Years ago, I had a Telrex rotator that the mast slid though. It was easy
to unclamp the bracket and slide the mast down with a come-a-long. Now I
have a medium prop pitch motor and I would not want to remove it unless
absolutely necessary, not to mention the job of unbolting the lower
antenna and boom supports.

Personally, I have found that I can pull the rotor and drop the mast down
with a ?come a long? to a serviceable height of 5 ft (allowing me to at
least stand on top of the tower) in not much more time than build the steps
up as they go. Takes about 2 hours to have my top antenna where I can get
to it from the top of the tower and about 2 ½ hours to have it all the way
down to sitting on the tower.
