I have been given a 50 ft Rohn tower (galvanized).

Problem is, I have to get it down. and I have a couple questions.

Weight of each section?

depends on the type, anywhere from #25 to #75 for common ham sizes.


estimate of a resonable charge to have someone do it for me? I don't
like climbing


depends on condition, how much room there is to work and what is on it for
antennas if anything. i could drop it for $20 if you didn't care about the
condition, or you could pay a pro $1000 to remove it from a tight yard with
antennas on top.

Is it worth paying 160 bucks to rent a 50 ft cherry picker to do it?


yes, if it comes with a qualified operator who knows how to handle a tower.
no, if its a drive it yourself and learn on the job rig.

my best suggestion is to ask hams locally who really knows how to do it
right and who has the right equipment.
