Assembly
A productive day, Marty NW0L came over and with my son John helping, we were able to assemble the core structure in three and a half hours. After lunch we spent several hours truing up the structure, torquing the fasteners and installing rotor plates and other add ons.

Overall the Rohn RSL Tower was easy and quick to assemble with just basic hand tools. I did have several bull pins on hand and they were handy in removing any zinc flashing in the holes. And also were a great help in getting the larger pieces lined up.
