Hmmm, I thought that was the Wilson tower.  If so, I had one some twenty-five 
years ago.  You could get a mast mount for the rotor and mount the rotor on 
the top of the tower.  Then, you could put a small tribander and maybe a 
two-meter beam on a mast on the other end of the rotor.

It helps but I thought you did not need the rotor except for the antenna.  I
thoguht the tower tilted over and cranked up and down with out the rotor.
This tower is something different that I had learned about.  s I was
comfused about that.  So if I take the rotor off for instance and use it on
the other tower that would not work.
