    there ground rods its either a Rohn 45 or 25 but a Rohn 4 sure, good find.
    It looks like a router up there but cant be sure, one the side its either
    coax or router. the black thing is the mounting for the router if that’s
    what it is.

    The thing near the top is probably the Thrust Bearing the Mast goes through
    and the Rotor would mount just below that on its own plate. The Mast
    usually goes out the hole in the top plate for 5-10 feet and then the
    antennas mount on it. Things like a 2M FM or a scanner antenna usually
    mount on arms extending about 18″ off the tower a little below the top. On
    the Rohn website it will give dimensions for the series (45 etc.) and
    instructions on how to install the tower. With the rocks covering the
    bottom and the ground rods so close and high this would not qualify as
    correct but at least it does have some grounding.

    Not router, rotor. It’s what turns the antenna and the black shelf-thing is
    the shelf it bolts to. The rotor could be worth a couple hundred dollars,
    depending on which one it is and what sort of condition it’s in. Looks like
    a CDE. Tower looks like Rohn 25G but could be 45G (needs you close to it
    for size comparison) – either way, it’s installed incorrectly at the
    moment. Should never be that much tower above the house bracket without
    guys. Not the manufacturer’s recommended installation.

    Those wires from the tower are ground wires, going to ground stakes.
    You are suppose to have one to each tower pole.
    Also the other wire near house is also a ground.
